JALAPEÑO RANCH DIP -copycat from Chuy’s Mexican Restaurant

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: milk + vinegar

💰Cheaper: milk + lemon juice

Milk with vinegar or lemon mimics buttermilk's tanginess

Get a half a cup of pickled jalapenos and put them in your blender.

Add a whole cup of sour cream to the blender.

Add a whole cup of Hellman's mayonnaise.

Add one package of ranch dip mix to the blender.

Pour in two tablespoons of lime juice.

Add a half of cup of fresh cilantro leaves, making sure to only include the leaves and not the stems.

Blend the mixture for just a second until combined, but don't over-blend.

Check the consistency; if you want it runnier, add a little bit of the juice from the jalapenos.

Stir the dip to ensure everything is mixed well, especially any powdered ranch that may not have mixed in.

Garnish the top with a few saved cilantro leaves.
