Y’all this easy and spicy jalapeno ranch dressing is perfect for so many salads, bowl, sandwiches, and burgers. It is that good! Plus, it is so simple to throw together, you will love this!

Making the Dressing

Add the sour cream to a small food processor or blender. This dressing is made completely in the food processor.

Now, for the creamy part of this dressing, you have plenty of options. You can use all mayo. I bet my mother would love it that way. You can use Plain Greek yogurt also. I chose to use a blend of light sour cream and mayo.

You can make your own ranch dressing, but I really like Hidden Valley mix, it is just so easy.

You can use fresh jalapenos, but all I had on hand was pickled jalapenos. These are perfect for the dressing, but use what you prefer.

Next, add in your cilantro. I just added in a rough chop. Don’t worry, it will be chopped into tiny pieces in the processor.

Limes, of course!! It would be really hard to have this dressing taste as it should without it.

I have a Calphalon food processor that is an immersion blender combo. I use it because I have it, but this is the small food processor I want. So, pulse until it is well blended and everything is in very small chunks.

That is it. It is ready to. So little prep and so much flavor in return! I promise you will love this. Well, as long as you like a little spice in your life.

I used it over my salmon and grain bowl. You could also use it over this blackened halibut bowl. Yum!
