Yield: About 3 cups

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4–1/2 cup buttermilk (adjust for desired consistency)
• 3/4 cup pickled jalapeños, with some of the juice
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• Juice of 1 fresh lime
• 1 (1 oz) package ranch dip mix

Optional Add-Ins

• Extra chopped pickled jalapeños
• More fresh cilantro
• Dash of hot sauce for extra heat

Instructions

1. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, pickled jalapeños (with a little of the juice), cilantro, fresh lime juice, and ranch dip mix to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Taste and adjust to your preference by adding more lime juice for brightness, extra jalapeños for heat, additional cilantro for freshness, or a splash of buttermilk if you’d like a thinner consistency.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Stir before serving. Enjoy with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, tacos, fajitas, burritos, quesadillas, or your favorite Mexican-inspired meals.
