Homemade Jalapeño Ranch Dressing
Homemade jalapeño Ranch dressing for salads, taco salads, or tacos! The secret to a Ranch-style dressing is a buttload of dillweed (What’d you call me?!
) AKA dill. And if you want a recipe for regular Ranch style dressing, then just omit the jalapeño from this recipe. Easy!
Now, you know that normally I like it spicy, but in this recipe I do prefer to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño to make it milder. I find that the delicate dill is overpowered by the heat of the chiles. But it’s up to you! Try it the first time without seeds and see what you think.
Like I said, this is the perfect dressing for a taco salad, a great dip for steak fries, baked portobello fries, or even just a pizza crust!
