Chipotle Ranch Dressing
A luscious, smoky, and creamy homemade dressing that adds a spicy twist to salads, tacos, and grilled veggies alike. Perfect for those who love a Mexican-inspired spin on classic ranch.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise use a good-quality brand like Hellmann’s or Duke’s
- 1/3 cup whole milk Greek yogurt for extra creaminess; low-fat works too
- 1/4 cup buttermilk adjust for thinner consistency; sour cream is a good swap
- 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo start with one for mild heat, La Costeña brand
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the chipotle can
- 1 small garlic clove finely grated; fresh is best for zing
- 1 teaspoon onion powder or 2 tablespoons finely minced chives
- 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice about 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Having everything prepped on the counter helps you focus on taste instead of scrambling.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together until silky and lump-free.
- You’ll notice that smoky aroma pop almost instantly.
- Whisk again. Taste and adjust for more heat if desired.
- Brightens the dressing and balances the richness.
- Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
