Copycat Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: softened cottage cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

sour cream

🥗Healthier: plain yogurt

💰Cheaper: buttermilk

Plain yogurt provides similar tanginess and texture

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: colby jack cheese

Colby jack is often less expensive but similar in flavor

Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro and jalapeños to a food processor and blend until smooth.

Add in the ranch dressing packet, garlic powder, and lime juice and blend again.

Check the consistency, then add in the buttermilk a little bit at a time -- for a thicker sauce, only add about ¼ cup; for a thinner sauce, add ½ cup.

Top with fresh chopped cilantro if desired and serve.
