Chips, crackers, fries, veggies, wings, roasts, burgers, pizzas… What do they have in common? I love them with this dairy-free jalapeno ranch dip recipe!
With a bit of spicy bite, this creamy Dairy-free Jalapeno Ranch Dip can do a lot of good to simple foods, adding so much flavor in one punch. And yes! This recipe is totally dairy-free!
A couple of weeks ago, I made my easy Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Tacos, and I drizzled it with this Jalapeno Ranch Dip. OMG! That spiciness of both the tacos and the dip together was oh so enticing, I won’t ever forget that meal – which is saying something fantastic.
Dressing and dips are always a part of my meals especially when I’m having vegetables, a salad or just a cucumber mix. Even with just slices of carrots, that’ll do it. This dairy-free jalapeno ranch dip is everything.
How to make Dairy-free Jalapeno Ranch Dip
When making this Dairy-free Jalapeno Ranch Dip you control the spiciness level. You can remove the jalapeno seeds for a milder kick (the seeds make it spicier), or go in for a super-sonic experience by leaving the seeds. And, of course, you can always add another jalapeno to make it really hot, but I’m personally on the “remove the seeds” side of the aisle.
I envy those who can tolerate the hottest path, though. I honestly wonder how they do that, because I can’t even taste flavor after a point, so there’s just no reason to sit there and cry, because my tongue is up in flames if I can’t even taste anything.
Anyway, don’t worry about using a single jalapeno, if you’re into mild spiciness. The hotness and kick are just enough that I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
