With a fun name like boat dip, you know this dish is going to be filled with flavor. And it is! This perfectly salty, creamy, and zesty dip was described by one test kitchen professional as "a zesty ranch dip," and we agree! The buttermilk powder and garlic in the ranch seasoning add some twang and umami, while the taco seasoning adds warmth and spice. The best part about this recipe is that you can make it ahead and chill it in the fridge until you're ready to serve it, or you can bring the individual ingredients and mix it all together (wherever you may be) right before serving.
