Spicy Jalapeño Dill Ranch Dressing Recipe

This spicy Jalapeño Dill Ranch Dressing is a creamy, tangy, and bright sauce that works as a dip for wings, a drizzle over salads, or a condiment for grilled mains.

Recipe Ingredients

Mayonnaise, Buttermilk, and Plain Greek Yogurt: These three form the creamy, tangy base for the ranch.

Fresh Dill: Adds herbaceous brightness and a subtle earthy flavor.

Fresh Jalapeño: Brings heat and a fresh peppery note; seed it if you prefer milder heat.

Garlic, Vinegar, Salt, and Pepper: The final seasonings—use fresh garlic if possible; garlic powder works in a pinch.

How to Make Jalapeño Dill Ranch Dressing

Blend the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup full-fat buttermilk, 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup fresh dill, 1 small jalapeño (roughly chopped, seeded if desired), 1 large garlic clove, 2 teaspoons white distilled vinegar, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and fully combined.

Chill before serving: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. It keeps well for up to 4 days.
