Good ol’ ranch dressing. Creamy, nostalgic, embarrassingly good on way too many things.
This ranch dressing is unbelievably addicting – tangy and just thick enough, with bites of garlic and onion, a little nod to the classic dill flavor, and a subtle kick from the fresh jalapeño that snuck its way in there.
I am a Midwestern girl who proudly loves her ranch dressing ON EVERYTHING and I don’t care who knows it.
I’m sorry in advance because once you have homemade jalapeño ranch, you will be ruined for all other store-bought ranch forever and ever. I take full responsibility.
Everybody goes in:

Okay, let’s discuss what you could put this on.
- Salads

- Grilled chicken
- Roasted vegetables
- Pasta salad
- Tacos – yes for real
- Sandwiches or wraps
- Bowls
- Tomatoes, carrots, bell pepper strips, and more (honestly vegetables never tasted so good as when they are wearing a luscious coat of this jalapeño ranch)
