Chipotle Ranch Dressing

This dressing is one of my family’s go-to flavor boosts for bowls, tacos, salads and more!

When it comes to easy, healthy meals that are actually flavorful, sauce is king in my book! This chipotle ranch is a staple in our house- we almost always have a jar on hand (if we don’t have a jar of homemade herb ranch or cilantro jalapeno sauce on hand, instead!). It’s delicious on top of bowls, tacos, burritos, salads and more- or for a dip for your favorite veggies. The spice level is just right, too- not too spicy the kids won’t eat it, but with a nice kick to add that punch of flavor (feel free to up the spice to your liking!).

Modifications:

This recipe uses all easy to find, real food ingredients. Feel free to swap in:

• Greek yogurt in place of sour cream
• Kefir or half and half (will not be as thick) in place of heavy cream
