Step 1

Prepare the jalapenos by removing the stems and cutting them in half. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds and ribs. For a spicier kick, leave them in.

Add the fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, lime juice, dried dill, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the blender.

Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth consistency. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the jalapeno ranch dressing to a jar or a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
