Copycat Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

Besides their Creamy Jalapeno Ranch – I also LOVE their Tres Leches Cake so much I made it for myself too! But the rest of their menu is great too – tacos, nachos, salads and fajitas – Tex Mex deliciousness.

How to make Chuy’s Jalapeno Ranch?

It’s super easy – in a bowl mix together mayonnaise (I always use Duke’s), buttermilk, ranch seasoning packet, juice from 1-2 limes (depending on your taste preference), 1 grated jalapeno (seeds and all – just grate it on the tiny grate right in the bowl) and a little hot sauce. Whisk it all together and pour into a mason jar. Homemade jalapeno ranch is done!

I like to make it the night before I’m going to use it so it has a chance to meld together then you can add anything you need. I did 1 lime and 1 jalapeno and wanted more – so I added a 2nd lime and some hot sauce. You could also do a spicier pepper if you really want spice in there!

Is there cilantro or sour cream in Chuy’s Jalapeno Ranch?

No! I did dice up some cilantro on the items I served with the ranch – but in the dressing itself is the ranch seasoning mix, mayo, buttermilk, jalapeno and hot sauce. That’s it! The texture of this is a dressing – and not as thick as a “dip”. If you like your ranch thicker – add a little more mayo and less buttermilk. If you like your ranch dressing thinner – then add more buttermilk and less mayo.

Favorite Salad Recipes

So this ranch is delish – and it’s great to dip veggies in (like my Jalapeno Fries – recipe coming soon!) but it’s also great on salads. Here are a few favorite salads that would taste great with this jalapeno ranch recipe:

  • Shrimp Taco Salad
  • Grilled Cheese Salad
  • Baja Warm Grain Bowl

    This recipe sounds so simple and great. Would make for a fun twist at our next fiesta themed night on a salad side dish. Bet it would taste great next to some BBQ chicken thighs too, yum!

      I used Tapatio hot sauce the first time, Frank’s Red hot the second – but really whatever is in your fridge will work!

I've found a new fav restaurant! Have you been to Phoenician Taverna in Mason? It's Lebanese food and soooo good! They had something that was just whipped garlic - I could bathe in it! This is the Mezza platter - with little bits and bites of everything! The Labneh and the little empanada thing were my fav - omg - so much yum!!!! ⁣

Making air fryer chicken breasts are definitely one of my go-to dishes – I’ve never had a juicier piece of chicken in my life! I have two ways that I make my chicken and I’m sharing BOTH with you today. Breaded and plain marinated – both ways are delicious!⁣

This is by far the BEST Weight Watchers cabbage soup you’ll ever have! It’s so much more – filled with every vegetable I could think of and I added ground turkey. Two cups of this hearty soup is only 0/1 POINT! (If you’re not on WW – it means it’s super healthy!!!) I’ve been astounded at how much I enjoyed all of these leftovers!⁣
