Creamy Jalapeño Ranch Sauce

This Creamy Jalapeño Ranch Sauce adds a delicious touch to almost any dish you can think of. With just a hint of spice, it's a perfect dip for chips or veggies, but my favorite way to use it is drizzled over tacos, enchiladas, or these mouth-watering Chicken Chimichangas.

This recipe is so easy to make, you can throw it together in less than ten minutes.

(Although, I like to let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving)

Let's Gather Up The Ingredients

Organizing all of your ingredients ahead of time not only streamlines the cooking process but also ensures you have everything required to complete the dish successfully. You can find the exact ingredient amounts in the recipe card below.

Is it better to use fresh or pickled Jalapeño for this recipe?

I always use pickled jalapeños for this dip. When you buy a jar of pickled jalapeños at the store, they all have the same heat level. When you use fresh jalapeños, you never know how hot (or NOT) they will be.

You can usually buy mild or hot pickled jalapeño slices at the store, so be sure to pick the kind that matches your heat tolerance.

Now Let's Get Cooking

Making this Creamy Jalapeño Ranch Sauce couldn't be easier!

Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor. I have the Ninja Compact Kitchen System and like all of my Ninja products, I just love how versatile it is.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Transfer to a bowl or mason jar and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

That's it! I told you it was easy.

How can I use this Creamy Jalapeño Ranch Sauce?

This sauce goes great on almost anything, but here are a few ideas to get you started.

• Simply dip your chips in it! Replace traditional salsa with this creamy dip.

• Use as a salad dressing for taco salads (or any salad for that matter)!

• Drizzle over tacos, enchiladas, or any Tex-Mex dish you want to prepare.

• Use as a dip for raw veggies.

• Use it as a topper for burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches.

The possibilities are only limited to your imagination, but I promise, this sauce is SO good you will invent new ways to use it up.

How to store this creamy  jalapeño sauce

I like to store it in a mason jar, but any air-tight container with a tight-fitting lid will do. It will last for a week or two in the fridge.
