What’s in Chipotle Ranch Dressing?
BASE: Mayonnaise, sour cream, and milk give the dressing its rich and smooth base. You can swap out the sour cream for low carb Greek yogurt. SEASONINGS: Fresh lime juice and cilantro add a bright fresh flavor. I also like to add parsley, garlic, and onion powder. CHIPOTLE PEPPERS: These peppers are smoked dried jalapenos and they can be purchased in a can in adobo sauce. This makes them easy to chop and add to your favorite dressings and sauces. They have a nice smoky flavor and a bit of heat.
How to Make Chipotle Ranch Dressing
It doesn’t get much easier than two very simple steps: SUBSTITUTIONS: If you don’t have chipotle peppers, substitute a little bit of dried chipotle powder or even other diced peppers with a bit of smoked paprika. Mild diced green chiles or finely chopped jalapenos can be used. Dip Tip To turn this from a dressing to a dip, skip on the milk. This will make the mixture nice and thick. Perfect for dipping your favorite Air Fryer French Fries.
