Description
Creamy and bright, this cilantro ranch makes the yummiest salad dressing, dip, or condiment for rice bowls or tacos alike! It comes together in about 10 minutes in a blender or food processor with mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, zippy lime juice, jalapeño (optional for a little spice!), and some dried spices. Drizzly and delicious, and sure to amp up the flavor of any meal you add it to!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 of a small jalapeno, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 cup roughly chopped cilantro, tender stems and leaves
- 2-3 tablespoons dairy free milk or water, a little more can be added to thin if desired
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. I recommend using 2 tablespoons of dairy free milk or water to start. Process until bright green and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add a little more liquid to thin if desired, keeping in mind that the sauce will thicken considerably after a little while in the fridge.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use!
- If the dressing has thickened more than you’d like after chilling, simply whisk in a little dairy free milk to thin it out.
Notes
To make a vegan version of the dressing, simply swap the mayonnaise for a vegan mayo!
This sauce should keep in the refrigerator for 5-6 days.
