Creamy Ranch Dip
The temperatures are so hot this week we have been loving our neighborhood pool and have been there every single day! We are doing our best to try to stay cool. We love to take snacks to the pool because it seems to be an all day affair. All of my kiddos are fish and could swim all day long.
I have seen this Poolside Dip everywhere and decided to give it a try! It had all of the ingredients I love in it plus it gave me the chance to sneak some veggies in for the kids. This dip is positively addicting and we couldn’t get enough of it! Whether you are heading to the pool or to a potluck plan on taking this dip with you! It is incredible! It will be the most addicting and delicious dip you ever eat!
Ingredients for Loaded Creamy Ranch Dip:
All of these ingredients come together so well in this creamy dip adding such flavor and texture. It has red bell peppers, olives, corn, olives and a jalapeño for some added kick. I was worried about the veggies in it for my kids but they didn’t even notice!
- Cream cheese: Softened until it can be easily mixed in with other dip ingredients.
- Red bell pepper: Finely diced the sweet peppers to give the dip a great crunch in each bite!
- Jalapeno: Finely dice so that the bright flavor can be tasted throughout. (leave the seeds in for more kick)
- Black olives: One small can chopped adds a salty and slightly bitter taste.
- Corn: Drain one can or use 15 oz fresh to add sweetness.
- Ranch seasoning mix: A perfect mix of herbs and spices that give this dip the classic ranch dressing flavor.
How to Make a Creamy Dip:
Ranch dip is creamy and amazing filled with so much flavor. Just a few ingredients mixed together in one bowl all together. It is simple and comes together quickly. Simply dice up peppers and jalapeños, dump in black olives and corn then sprinkle ranch mix over top. Stir in cream cheese for a creamy base. Just make sure everything gets completely mixed together in a large bowl and that’s it. It is really that easy!
- Combine all ingredients: In a medium sized bowl and cream cheese, bell pepper, jalapeño, olives, corn, and ranch package. Mix together until incorporated.
- Serve: Immediately serve with your favorite chips or allow to chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
- Store: Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
What to Serve with Poolside Dip:
This dip will be a huge hit with family and friends! You will need to have plenty of things ready to go to scoop it up! Although, you really can’t go wrong with this dip, here are some of my favorite things to serve with this creamy ranch dip.
- Crackers: A salty cracker is the perfect platform for this creamy dip!
- Chips: A thick tortilla chip will be best so you can scoop without you chip breaking. Frito’s scoops work great!

hey girl this looks amazing! Yummy!
I made this loaded ranch dip but it was way too salty. I added about a half cup of sour cream and that helped. I also bought chopped black olives which was a mistake. It was a yucky gray color. Guests still tried it, but I noticed that you had a comma followed by chopped. Maybe that was my mistake. I think adding black beans would be good too. Good recipe but it wasn’t as great as I’d expected.
Thank you for sharing! I am sorry it didn’t go as planned. I hope your next recipe works out better for you!

I made this according to recipe. I was careful to pat everything dry. I served it the next day, love the taste , but it got runny. Anyway to keep that from happening? Maybe more cream cheese? Or should it just be served the same day?
I made this and it looked nothing like the picture. It looked like olives, corn, and peppers with a little bit of cream cheese. What did I do wrong?!
I think if you added a container of sour cream it would look a lot more like the picture!
I make it with 16 oz cream cheese and it is perfect every time!
I agree, adding sour cream is exactly what is needed!
I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out just like the picture. It was delicious! I took it to a pool party and everyone loved it!
That is AWESOME to hear!! Thanks for sharing! I am so glad you had a pool party! That sounds amazing!! Xo
Just made it and it’s just like the picture and tastes great!
SO AWESOME!! Glad you made it and loved it!! Thanks for sharing! Xo
I have made this a few times and it’s a huge hit! It’s my new go-to for something quick and easy! I did have to make one change- my husband WONT eat olives, so I substituted 1/2 a can of black beans.
That is awesome to hear! I am glad it is a huge hit whenever you make it!! Thanks for sharing! XOXO
I think this would be good with some taco seasoning.
Barb, try the Ranch Fiesta dip mix. It’s amazing, to my taste buds anyway.
I have to agree about the Fiesta Ranch! It makes it more of a Southwest flavored dip, which goes really well with the jalapeño and corn! I only use about 1/2 package, though, to reduce some of the saltiness.
This is an amazing dip! I use 2 block of cream cheese plus I add black beans & shredded cheese to mine when making this, soo delicious!
Sounds delicious! So glad that you could make it your own. Thank you for sharing! XOXO
I added a 1/2 cup sour cream to the recipe and the flavor was spot on. Everyone loved it.
I have made this dip for two different occasions and everyone loved it. Will make it again soon.
That is great to hear! I am so glad that it is a keeper! Thanks for sharing and following along with me! XOXO
I’m wondering if you can substitute black beans for the black olives.
That sounds great! The beans may change color in the dip but it will taste delicious! Hope your enjoy it! XOXO
I substituted the black olives for black beans and it didn’t change the color whatsoever. Rinse your beans first!
We make this dip a lot and have found ways to even revamp it a bit. We use whipped cream cheese, a bit of soir cream and also added well rinsed and dried black beans to it. Also rinsed and dried the olives well so it does not change the color. We will add shredded rotisserie chicken to it and sometimes shredded cheese and serve it on mini slider size rolls! Its so good and a versatile dip that can be doctored up in so many ways.
MMM! That sounds delicious! Thank you so much for sharing! XOXO
hi ! i made it and did add a little sour cream. next time i will use less of the ranch dip, because of the salt.
I have made this dip countless times and it always gets rave reviews.
it is so addictive, poeple cannot stop dipping into it once they start.
I make a day ahead and it seems to meld the flavors together.
I also use 2 – 8 ounce package of cream cheese, with no sour cream. Perfect everytime.
Amazing party dip.

Poolside Dip
I added:
1/3 C Sour Cream
1/2 pkg Fiesta Ranch mix
(in addition to the 1 full Pkg Regular mix)
1/2 can black beans rinsed and patted dry
Even more Yummy!
This is seriously one of my FAVORITE dips! I’ve made it for numerous functions now and everyone loves it! It’s perfect with Ruffles. It is something that you need to make the same day it is going to be served though. It is salvageable the day after making it but is MUCH better the first day. After the first day I’d gets runny. So keep this in mind when preparing. Thank you for this recipe!!!!
YAY!! That is great! I am so glad that everyone loved it! Thank you for sharing and following along with me! XOXO
Oh my! So yummy! I fried up 3 slices of bacon an crumbled it to add to the mix!
I decided to add 4 oz more cream cheese because of past comments. I let cream cheese warm up on counter for a bit to soften and make it easier to mix. I mixed ingredients all in except for olives. I folded in the olives last as not to crush them. It was really popular at a work snack day. There was nothing left in the bowl after an hour and a half ❤
This is going to be my favorite for everything! Super easy and adaptable. Perfect for the munchies!
Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe I loved this recipe
Fantastic Deb it was a hit
