Equipment
- A medium mixing bowl
- A whisk or electric mixer
- Airtight container for storage
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 packet (28g) Ranch dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon Fresh garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Pickled jalapeños chopped
- 1 tablespoon Juice from pickled jalapeños
Instructions
Mixing the base
- Start by combining the buttermilk and mayonnaise in your bowl. Use your whisk to blend them until the mix is smooth and uniform.
- Add the ranch dressing mix and whisk further until completely mixed.
- Stir in the minced garlic to introduce a slight sharpness that balances the creaminess.
Adding the kick
- Now for the kick that defines this recipe:
- Fold in the chopped pickled jalapeños. These bits add a vinegary punch and a subtle heat that sneaks up on you.
- Pour in the jalapeño juice for that extra zing.
Chill and serve
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Once done, transfer your kickin ranch to an airtight container and refrigerate. Let it sit for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully.
Notes
- Consistency tweak: If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more buttermilk. For a thicker ranch, increase the mayonnaise.
- Garlic pro tip: Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder works in a pinch.
- Spice level: Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your heat preference.
