Ingredients

Sour cream. I have used original sour cream, however you may choose light sour cream for lowering the fat. Or you may completely swap with Greek yogurt as a healthy alternative.

Mayonnaise. I would recommend using mayonnaise as it provides a creamy and luscious texture. You may use light mayonnaise or avocado oil mayo as a substitutions.

Jalapeno. Always wear a pair of gloves if you have sensitive skin. Remove the seeds and the center rib for the mild heat. However, you may retain the seeds and add it later if you prefer to intensify the heat level.

Lemon juice. Gives jalapeno ranch a depth and freshness, making the dressing sauce tastes wholesome.

Onion powder and garlic powder. Do not skip these ingredients, as it's also brings all the ingredients together and thickens the spicy ranch.

How to make

Prepping the jalapeno. Protect your skin with gloves to avoid any burning sensations(we have learnt some hard lessons with jalapeno hands). 

Slice them into two, using a spoon, remove the seeds and the white membrane. You may reserve the seeds to add it later to adjust the heat to suit your preference. 

In a blender jar, add all the ingredients together. And pulse until all the ingredients combine together and turn smooth in texture.

Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve as a dipping sauce or as dressing sauce.

How long does the homemade jalapeno ranch last?

Sour cream and mayonnaise is stable in the refrigerator, and can last upto a week. Always store in an airtight container, refrigerate immediately for best results. And these steps increase the shelf life for another 2-3 days.

I make the spicy jalapeno ranch sauce fresh everytime, as it's an effortless recipe. Furthermore, our family loves any homemade spicy dips and usually nothing is left behind after the meal.
