Jalapeno Ranch Recipe
This Homemade Jalapeno Ranch Dressing recipe comes together in about 5 minutes start-to-finish. But you’ll want to refrigerate it for up to an hour to allow the flavors to really blend together.
- Mayonnaise. Use a good quality real mayonnaise like Best Foods or Hellman’s.
- Sour Cream. We use a little sour cream for this recipe, but you could use plain Greek yogurt instead or use all mayonnaise.
- Seasoning. We use dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly cracked black pepper. We also blend in one fresh cilantro, garlic and green onion to the mix which gives this dressing an amazing flavor. If you don’t have green onion, then add in 1/2 teaspoon dried chives to the mix.
- Buttermilk. We mix in buttermilk to this dressing, but you could also use regular milk or even water to thin to desired consistency.
