Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk
  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 can (4.5 oz.) chopped green chiles, undrained
  • 2 large jalapeño peppers, seeded and deveined, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (leaves and small stems)
  • 1 packet (1 oz.) dry ranch dip mix
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and stir well to combine. If a smoother dip is desired, place in food processor or blender, and process until smooth. 
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Makes 3 cups.
  • Serve with veggies, tortilla chips, or potato chips.

Notes

  • Yogurt note: We prefer 2% Greek yogurt for dips but fat-free and whole milk Greek yogurt will also work. Make sure to buy plain! If you don't want to use Greek yogurt, substitute sour cream.
  • Make it a salad dressing. if you would like to make the dip into a dressing, thin with additional buttermilk until it reaches desired consistency.
  • MSG free: Many dry ranch dip mixes contain MSG. If you want to avoid MSG, try my homemade ranch seasoning mix. Since my blend contains dry buttermilk powder, you can substitute regular milk for the buttermilk in this dip recipe. 
  • Storage: Store the dip in a covered container or jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. Give it a stir before serving if the ingredients have separated a bit. Do not freeze.
