Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 jalapenos
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Prepare the jalapenos by removing the stems and cutting them in half. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds and ribs. For a spicier kick, leave them in.
Place the jalapenos, buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, lime juice, dried dill, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth consistency. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the jalapeno ranch dressing to a jar or a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
