Categories     appetizer

Time 28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt, as needed
1 broccoli stalk, trimmed into florets, about 3 cups
8 ounces asparagus, stalks peeled, woody ends trimmed
1 red bell pepper, seeded, and cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded, and cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, and cut strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, and cut strips
1 bunch radishes (with greens attached)
2 kirby cucumbers, cut into spears
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 scallion (white and green parts), very thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water and salt that as well. Drop the broccoli into the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Scoop them out of the water and immediately plunge the broccoli into the ice water; this stops their cooking and sets their color. Cool, remove them from the ice water, and pat dry. Repeat with the asparagus, cooking 1 to 2 minutes depending on how thick they are.
  • Arrange all the vegetables on a large serving platter and serve with the chipotle dip.
  • For the dressing: Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Scrape the paste into a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and whisk well to make a creamy dressing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your dressing the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Just use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use fresh herbs.
  • You can adjust the amount of heat in your dressing by using more or less chipotle peppers. If you like a very spicy dressing, you can add a whole chipotle pepper. If you prefer a milder dressing, you can use just a half of a pepper.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • This dressing is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chipotle ranch dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, tacos, burritos, and even as a dip for vegetables. It's also easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new dressing to try, give chipotle ranch a try. You won't be disappointed!
