Stir in the freshly chopped cilantro, parsley, and dill. Mix until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
Add the finely chopped jalapeno, making sure to remove all seeds for a milder spice level, or leave some seeds for extra heat.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder, and stir until incorporated.
Add the ground black pepper, lime juice, and honey, then stir to combine all the ingredients well.
Taste the dressing and add a bit more lime juice or honey if needed to balance the flavors to your preference.
Transfer the jalapeno ranch dressing to a sealable jar or bottle for storage.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or as a sauce for sandwiches and wraps. Enjoy!
