Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk (more for thinner consistency)
1 (1 oz) packet ranch dressing mix
2–3 jalapeños, chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and ranch dressing mix into a blender or food processor.
- Add chopped jalapeños (seeds removed for less heat), cilantro, garlic, and lime juice.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as desired.
- Chill the dip for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
- Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos.
Notes
Chilling the dip enhances flavor but is optional.
Use Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Add jalapeño seeds or hot sauce for extra heat.
Reduce buttermilk for a thicker consistency.
Blend in avocado for a creamier dip with a twist.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Not suitable for freezing due to dairy separation.
