Chipotle Ranch Dressing

This homemade Chipotle Ranch Dressing recipe is creamy, delicious and has a little bit of a smoky taste to it. If you love traditional ranch dressing, you’ll love the flavor of this Chipotle Ranch Salad Dressing! 

Chipotle Ranch Salad Dressing is made with mayonnaise, buttermilk, green onion, garlic, seasoning and adobo sauce. Not only is it an amazing salad dressing, but it also makes a great dip to serve with French fries.

This Chipotle Ranch Salad Dressing comes together in about 5 minutes start-to-finish. But you’ll want to refrigerate it for up to an hour (longer even better) to allow the flavors to really blend together.

Homemade Chipotle Ranch Dressing Recipe

• Mayonnaise. We use a good real mayonnaise like Best Foods (Hellman’s).
• Seasoning.  We add fresh garlic and green onion together with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly cracked black pepper to season this dressing with. 
• Adobo Sauce. We stir in a little adobo sauce to the mix which gives this dressing an amazing flavor and a wee bit of spice. If you want a spicier dressing, then add more adobo sauce from the canned chipotle peppers 1 teaspoon at a time to taste.  
• Lime Juice. We add just a little lime juice which enhances the chipotle flavor.
• Buttermilk. This adds flavor and thins the dressing out.  You can use milk or water if you like.
