Categories appetizer

Time 28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

Kosher salt, as needed
1 broccoli stalk, trimmed into florets, about 3 cups
8 ounces asparagus, stalks peeled, woody ends trimmed
1 red bell pepper, seeded, and cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded, and cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, and cut strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, and cut strips
1 bunch radishes (with greens attached)
2 kirby cucumbers, cut into spears
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 scallion (white and green parts), very thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water and salt that as well. Drop the broccoli into the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Scoop them out of the water and immediately plunge the broccoli into the ice water; this stops their cooking and sets their color. Cool, remove them from the ice water, and pat dry. Repeat with the asparagus, cooking 1 to 2 minutes depending on how thick they are.
Arrange all the vegetables on a large serving platter and serve with the chipotle dip.
For the dressing: Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Scrape the paste into a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and whisk well to make a creamy dressing.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs, spices, and dairy products will make a big difference.
Taste the dressing as you make it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Let the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the dressing with a variety of foods, such as salads, grilled chicken, or fish tacos.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chipotle ranch dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used with a variety of foods. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a dip for your favorite appetizers or a dressing for your next salad, chipotle ranch dressing is sure to please.
