Equipment

  • blender or food processor
  • glass storage container with tight-fitting lid

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Homemade Ranch Seasoning
  • 1 jalapeno pepper roughly chopped with ribs and seeds removed
  • Water add 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to reach desired consistency

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor.
  • Blend until smooth, adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time until reaching desired consistency
  • Store in sealed container in fridge until ready to use

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of spice by using less jalapeno pepper or add more along with a bit of the ribs and seeds in the mixture. For reference, I use one jalapeno (without the ribs and seeds) and I don’t find it spicy at all.
  • Store in the refrigerator in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Dressing cannot be frozen, but can be refrigerated for up to 4-5 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, swap the sour cream for plain dairy-free yogurt and use my version of ranch seasoning mix without buttermilk powder.
