Most of my regular readers know that I love dips and sauces. I love how you can really turn anything into a dip. I love chips and veggies and I love dipping them. We always have some sort of sauce or dip stored on the top shelf of our fridge. Lately I have been making lots of recipes with chipotle peppers, and I love the smoky spicy taste they add. I really like the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (found in your international aisle in a small can), as the sauce they are in is so good. I had some left over from making some homemade enchilada sauce so I thought I would put them to good use. Plus, we had pizza on our menu plan for the following day, and I love dipping pizza in different dips. Yum.
This recipe is very simple. You only need a few things and some sort of blender or food processor. I am obsessed with my Food Processor
. Best. Gift. Ever. Anyway, you just throw everything in there, hit mix, let it mix for a minute, and then let it chill in the fridge. Now, I know you will be tempted to dig into this dip right away, but please believe me when I tell you, it gets better with time. You don’t need a lot of time, but I would say at least keep this in the fridge for 2 hours, and then enjoy. The flavors really come out in that short time. Even after the day in the fridge the flavors get deeper and spicier…it’s so delicious.
Like I said, this dip is great for whatever. Parties, potlucks, dipping pizza or veggies, chip dip, football games, or just for funsies. It’s great. Trust me, you don’t need a special occasion for this dip.
- 1 package Ranch dressing not dip mix
- 1 ½ cups light sour cream sometimes I divide this and do half greek yogurt, half sour cream
- 1 TBS chipotle peppers in adobo sauce this will get your dip fairly spicy, use less - ½ TBS if you don't want a lot of spice
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from can
- ¼ cup to ½ cup buttermilk
- Chips veggies, pizza slices, or whatever food you will be dipping into this delicious concoction
-
Throw everything into your food processor or blender. Blend for 30 seconds-1 minute. Slowly add buttermilk and mix until you have your desired dipping consistency. The less you use the thicker it will be, and it will thicken up a bit in the fridge.

When it's all mixed up pour into jar or bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Enjoy!

When I'm serving appetizers I always have to have a dip because they are a great make-ahead meal. I tend to see the same dip recipes over and over again but I've not seen this one before. It looks delicious and I love the idea! 🙂

This might be good drizzled on a sandwich! Pinning. 🙂
Allyson
Yes, that would be sooo good! I can imagine dipping a warm panini into it too, YUM!

is the ranch dressing mix a dry seasoning type envelope of mix? Just curious if that is what you mean.
Allyson
I use the envelope mix that is specifically dressing, not 'dip'. Hope that helps!
Diana
Is the buttermilk a dry consistency or liquid?
Allyson
It is liquid, but you could make buttermilk with the dry powder by following the directions on that container, then adding it to the recipe.
Ashley
What a delicious recipe! Whips up really quick. Looking forward to drizzling it over our fish tacos this evening.
Allyson
Wow I bet that was delicious on top of those tacos! Feel free to swing by some extras at my house 😉
Lily
Can you substitute the buttermilk?
Allyson
I haven't tried any subs, so I'm not sure how it would turn out!
