Creamy Chipotle Ranch Dressing 🧡
I had written up a short dissertation on what I appreciated about the @mcdougallmom ranch dressing recipe I recently made, but it's disappeared from my drafts folder. I want to log my luck with a chipotle version that's not unlike hers. I have chipotle seasoning, but it looks like it peaked at the same time The Macarena did, so that wasn't gonna happen.
📌 RECIPE:
✅ Half of my existing batch of @mcdougallmom ranch, about 12oz I think (I made the full 24oz batch with 3/4 cup cashews to keep it thinner).
✅ 1 single chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeded (I scrape the seeds/membranes out of these messy things so I can get more flavor with less scorch, totes worth it imho)
✅ 1/2 tsp paprika
✅ 1 tsp maple syrup
✅ 2 dashes kala namak (black salt)
My kid always reminds me to make the OG recipe first and then adjust. In this case, I already had to deviate with the chipotle (but I keep a can of them on hand because they're such a flavor powerhouse), and I really felt the pull for a small touch of sweet (maple syrup) and a small touch of depth (kala namak). I've said it before and I'll say it again, what a fab base this is from @mcdougallmom. If she doesn't mind I'll write up a full top-to-bottom recipe, I also don't mind pointing people back to her insta, but I'm still a bit sore, tired, and brain foggy from an upper body cold so this is about as much as I'm up for posting at the moment!
That's also why I have limited photos of this, these three are all I have, and that chipotle pepper is BEFORE seeding it because my hands were too messy to take an after shot 😆
