Swap this for your usual ranch dressing when you want to kick things up a notch. #mexican #dip #chuys #jalapenoranch #ranchdressing

BEST Homemade Jalapeno Ranch Dip

This Jalapeno Ranch is ridiculously good. I’ve made this several times over the past few months, and we just can’t get enough of it. It is a little bit spicy and a whole lotta good. This is the kind of dip that you just can’t stop eating. We LOVE this dip with Sausage Balls too! OMG! The Crack Sausage Balls from yesterday dipped into this Jalapeno Ranch – heaven! You can use this Jalapeno Ranch Dip in place of your usual Ranch dressing when you want to kick things up a notch.

How to Make Jalapeno Ranch Dip with Sour Cream

This recipe is adapted from a recipe a reader sent in. I made a couple of small changes to the recipe and came up with this AMAZING dip/sauce! This Jalapeno Ranch Dip is SUPER simple to make. The hardest part of the whole dip is letting it chill in the fridge. You don’t necessarily have to chill the dip, but it definitely tastes better cold and after the flavors have had some time to develop. I like to let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
To make this simple dip put some pickled jalapenos in a food processor blender and process until finely chopped. Next add some cilantro, sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, tomatillo green salsa, cumin, and a package of dry Ranch dressing mix and process until smooth. Easy peasy!

I am not a big cilantro fan, but it definitely works in this dip. Feel free to leave it out or reduce the amount if you prefer. If you want to cut down on the calories, you can use low-fat mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt.

Please note, this dip does have a nice kick. It isn’t overwhelming, but it is there. If you are worried about the heat start with ¼ cup of pickled jalapenos and work your way up from there.

How Long Does Jalapeno Ranch Dip Last?

The Jalapeno Ranch Dip will keep 3 or 4 weeks in the refrigerator. Our dip never makes it that long though! We go through this stuff fast! Make sure to store the dip in an airtight container. It is best to transfer the amount of dip you plan on using to a new bowl and refrigerate the remaining dip. If you leave the whole container of dip out, it won’t last as long.
