Chipotle Ranch Dressing

Report

Chipotle Salad Dressing will transform any salad, wrap, sandwich, raw or roasted veggies, etc. into the tastiest bite of your dreams! Its creamy, smoky, zesty heat can be whipped up in less than 10 minutes with ZERO chopping and stores for up to one week. This Chipotle Ranch is easy to customize by making more or less spicy, more or less tangy, with store-bought ranch packet or DIY seasonings, and can even be made vegan!

Instructions

Blend: Add the ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth, scraping sides down as needed. Start with less chipotle peppers, blend, then add another 1/2-1 pepper and blend again if it's not spicy enough.
Adjust to taste: add additional lime, salt, etc. For thinner, add milk or water 1 tablespoon at a time.
Chill before serving. The dressing will thicken in the refrigerator so you may need to whisk in some milk before serving.

Notes

This Chipotle Dressing is meant to have a kick, but it's easy to adjust to taste. Just like jalapeños, chipotle peppers in adobo will vary in spiciness, so you may need to adjust the amount you use each time. Here's the general breakdown:
Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The dressing will thicken upon standing, so stir in a little milk or water to reach desired consistency.
