Chipotle Ranch Dressing Recipe Ingredients
You just need 8 ingredients to make this recipe:
- Greek yogurt and mayonnaise – Traditional ranch dressing recipes typically use sour cream or buttermilk as a base. I don’t often have those ingredients on hand, so I use a mix of Greek yogurt and mayo instead. They give this dressing the same creamy texture and delicious tangy flavor.
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce – For smoky, spicy chipotle flavor.
- Apple cider vinegar – For extra tang.
- Garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill – They give the dressing its savory, ranch-y flavor.
- And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!
Find the complete recipe with measurements below.
Place all the ingredients in a food processor, and whizz to combine. When the dressing is smooth and creamy, season to taste. That’s it!

This was fantastic! I made it as a dipping sauce for fried pickles. Even my husband – who can’t handle anything spicy – absolutely loved it.
I’m so glad it was a hit! It would be so good with fried pickles, yum.
How long will this keep in the fridge? Can you make a double or triple batch and use it over the course of a week or two?
Hi Judy, I would use it within 1 week, I think 2 might be pushing it.
I made this today and it was delicious! We used it with our fish tacos!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
