Southwest Sauce
Description
The sauce is made by whisking together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing to create a creamy base, then adding chipotle paste for smoky heat, apple cider vinegar for tang, sugar for balance, and garlic and onion powders for savory depth. This combination yields a smooth and flavorful sauce with moderate spice.
Letting the sauce rest chilled for about 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld fully. Using fresh garlic and onion powders under six months old ensures potency. Chipotle powder can substitute chipotle paste if necessary.
The sauce's smooth texture can clog squeezable bottles if not blended thoroughly, so blending before bottling is recommended for ease of use. It can be used to add a smoky, creamy element to sandwiches, salads, grilled meats, or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt 0% fat free
- 3 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions

Notes
- Blend the sauce thoroughly before bottling to prevent chipotle bits from clogging dispensers.
