Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 ounce packet powdered ranch dressing mix (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapeño slices (more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño juice (from the jar)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (more to taste)
Instructions
- Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, cilantro, pickled jalapeños, jalapeño juice, and lime juice in a blender or food processor.
- Pulse a few times to chop the cilantro and jalapeños, then blend until completely smooth and pale green.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the flavor by adding salt, more ranch mix, jalapeño juice, or lime juice to achieve a bright and tangy taste.
- Pour the dressing into a serving bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes if possible.
- Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with tortilla chips or over your favorite Tex-Mex dishes.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add more jalapeño slices or juice according to taste.
Chilling the dressing enhances its flavors, so allowing it to rest is recommended before serving.
