Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 dry ranch seasoning packet - 1 oz. Hidden Valley or similar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup pickled Jalapenos
- 2 tablespoons juice from pickled Jalapenos
- 3/4 cup cilantro leaves, large stems removed
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- In a food processor (or blender works too), puree cilantro leaves with the pickled jalapenos and their juice. Puree until mostly smooth, scraping down the sides a few times.
- Put the mayo and sour cream in a mixing bowl. Add the ranch packet, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Pour cilantro mix directly into the sour cream mixture. Stir to combine. Add lime juice, then add in buttermilk a little at a time until you reach desired consistency.
- Store in a mason jar or a bowl tightly sealed. Refrigerate up to five days. Best served chilled so they flavors have time to meld together.
