A spicy twist on traditional ranch dressing. I use this on taco salads and as a dipping sauce for taquitos, mini-tacos, jalapeno poppers, etc. It's good with or without the avocado! Add more peppers to taste. I make a batch with habaneros for my father-in-law, too!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh jalapeños: Look for jalapeños that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the jalapeños: Roasting the jalapeños brings out their flavor and makes them less spicy. To roast the jalapeños, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help you to create a smooth and creamy dressing. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also use a whisk, but it will take a little more time and effort.
  • Add the ingredients in the right order: When making ranch dressing, it's important to add the ingredients in the right order. Start with the mayonnaise, then add the sour cream, buttermilk, and spices. Finally, stir in the roasted jalapeños.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings: Once you've made the dressing, taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno ranch dressing is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes, from salads to tacos to burgers. It's also a great dip for vegetables or chips. With its creamy texture, spicy flavor, and tangy kick, jalapeno ranch dressing is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
