Chipotle Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is a tangy, eye-popping dressing with just a bit of heat that’s super easy to make and very versatile
I made this Chipotle Buttermilk Ranch Dressing as a way to jazz up all the veggies I’d cut up to snack on in front of the TV. This particular recipe is actually very versatile – you would not think of it as a Southwestern dressing at first taste.
The buttermilk adds a special kind of tanginess – and I only used 2 teaspoons of chipotle. The result is there is lots and lots of flavor, but just a hint of heat. I particularly like it that way. If you want it to have some real heat, just add more chipotle to taste. About 1 more teaspoon will produce a good amount of heat without overwhelming. So if you’re looking for flavor + heat, you’d use a total of 1 tablespoon of chipotle.
Also note this recipe uses chipotle in adobo sauce, but I specifically chose to use about half adobo sauce and half minced chipotle pepper. I wanted little chunks of chipotle pepper along with the flavor thoroughly blended into the dressing.
I also usually have all the ingredients on hand (except perhaps the buttermilk). I always have Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning & Dressing Mix on hand. It’s great for all kinds of different recipes.
If you’re having a get together, you might want to double the recipe. It’s good on fries, sandwiches, chips, all kinds of dishes. Hope you enjoy it!
