Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- 1-2 jalapenos, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning, 1-2 jalapenos (chopped), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and salt to taste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and buttermilk. Use a whisk or a fork to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the ranch seasoning to the mayonnaise and buttermilk mixture. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Chop the jalapenos finely. If you prefer a milder dip, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping. For a spicier dip, keep some or all of the seeds. Add the chopped jalapenos to the mixture.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Taste the dip and add salt as needed to enhance the flavor. Start with a small pinch and adjust to your preference.
- Once everything is well mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional, but it enhances the taste.
- Serve the jalapeno ranch dip chilled with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
Tips
- Jalapeno Heat Control: For those who love heat, keep the seeds; for a milder version, remove them completely.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Letting the dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh jalapenos for the most vibrant flavor and heat.
- Customize Your Consistency: Adjust buttermilk quantity to make the dip thicker or thinner as per your preference.
- Make Ahead: This dip can be prepared up to 2-3 days in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or parties.
- Serving Suggestions: Beyond chips, try this dip as a topping for tacos, salads, or as a sandwich spread.
