Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 pkg ranch dressing
16 oz sour cream
2 medium diced jalapenos (seeds removed, set aside)
1 bunch chopped cilantro, about a small handful
1 clove minced garlic (optional)

Steps:

1. In a small blender, add Ranch dip mix, 16 oz sour cream, chopped cilantro and fresh jalapeno - no seeds. I put in a blender just long enough to mix (I like little pieces of jalapeno. Add a splash of water or cream if needed to thin out in order to mix better. Gradually add chopped jalapeno depending on spice -add jalapeno seeds if you want it really spicy. It will get spicier as it sits. Eat with fresh veggies, chips, or crackers.

Tips:

Use fresh cilantro for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro.
If you like a spicier dip, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
If you don't have 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.
Serve the dip with your favorite chips, vegetables, or crackers.

Conclusion:

This spicy cilantro ranch dip is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used as a dip, dressing, or marinade. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or picnics. With its creamy texture, spicy kick, and fresh cilantro flavor, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
