Perfect as a dip, delightful as a dressing, delicious as a sauce, this Jalapeno Ranch is full of bright flavor, with just a hint of spice!
The holidays are coming! I don’t know about you but with all the hustle and bustle of everything going on, I want to serve up some appetizers and keep everyone happy until I can get a main or holiday meal on the table. And I want to eat a pile of them myself. Ahem.
My family will roll over and do tricks for anything with a dipping sauce, so I stop by the frozen section at Safeway for some easy options.
This Jalapeno Ranch recipe is a fabulous option for dipping pretty much anything in. It’s creamy, with a little kick of heat that you can definitely dial up or down depending on your family’s tolerance to spicy food.
I always need something that doesn’t require me to spend hours in the kitchen. I do require that it still tastes AMAZING, though! I picked up both the Chicken and Pesto Bites as well as the Fiesta Steak Bites and created this yummy Jalapeno Ranch for dippin’.
You’re so welcome.
