Chipotle Lime Ranch is the ultimate upgrade to the most icon dressing of all time.
Making your own ranch at home is super easy to do and it adds a ton of flavor to the dressing. It’s also a lot healthier to make than traditional store bought dressing.
Ingredients you will need
Cream base: mayo and sour cream
Liquid: Chicken broth and a[pple cider vinegar
Seasonings: Limes, chipotle peppers in adobo, dill, garlic powder, onion powder and salt
How to make Chipotle Lime Ranch
Making your own ranch at home is one of the easiest things you can make.
Simply combine all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor then mix for 1 minute until fully all of the ingredients are fully combined.
The longer you mix your ingredients together, the smoother and creamier the ranch will be. For thicker ranch, add less chicken broth and for more runny ranch add more chicken broth.
How to store the Chipotle Lime Ranch
Pour the homemade ranch into an air tight container such as a mason jar. You can store the ranch refrigerated for up to 7 days (if it lasts that long).
Another great option is to store it in a squeeze bottle which makes using the ranch easier and more spreadable.
What to eat with the Chipotle Lime Ranch
Ranch goes great with anything. I love using this for easy week day salads, but I’ve also put it on my Brisket Street Corn Tacos and the flavor was next level.
Crispy chicken wings are another easy go-to way to enjoy the homemade ranch. Grill or smoke the wings then dip them in the Chipotle Lime Ranch for a ton of extra flavor.
