    Chipotle lime ranch dressing is smoky, tangy, and as spicy as you want it to be! This versatile southwest salad dressing is the ultimate topping for salads, tacos, wraps, and so much more.

    Why you'll love it

    This twist on ranch dressing is so good. The way you can achieve this level of flavor in under 10 minutes is a little mind-blowing, honestly! Boring salads are definitely a thing of the past. If you're a fan of Mexican inspired recipes, I think that you'll like this chipotle ranch dressing a whole lot.

    This creamy, spicy, and irresistible ranch cilantro lime dressing works with SO many dishes, from salads to tacos to grilled vegetables. It's ranch dressing with a kick that you didn't know you needed in your life.

    What you'll need to make it

    • Sour cream - this gives a little bit of tang and a cooling sensation
    • Mayo - it's the rich creamy base. Paired with the sour cream, it creates that signature ranch flavor.
    • Cilantro - make sure it's as fresh as possible for this vibrant dressing
    • Chili pepper in adobo sauce - I like things on the milder side, so I started with just one chili, but you can add in way more heat if you prefer
    • Lime juice - adds a bold, fresh note and perfectly complements the chili and cilantro
    • Worcestershire sauce - you could skip it, but I adore the savory, umami flavor it adds to dressings and sauces and wouldn't recommend leaving it out
    • Garlic powder and onion powder - this classic duo takes the savory element over the top
    • Smoked paprika - my not-so-secret ingredient that I use all the time! It just adds a subtle smokiness

    What is adobo sauce?

    • It's the sauce that comes in those little cans of chipotle chili peppers. It's tangy, smoky, a tiny bit sweet, and typically includes vinegar, garlic, and various fragrant spices. Canned chipotles in adobo sauce are normally readily available in the Mexican/international aisle of most major grocery stores, so you shouldn't have trouble finding them!

    How to make it

    This is an overview, and full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.

    • Put all the ingredients in your food processor, and blend until it's the desired consistency! Easy peasy.
    • It's tasty right after you whip it up, or you can chill it for a bit and it'll thicken up. I prefer to chill it for an hour or so.
    • Chilling it will give it more of a dip consistency, so it'll be perfect for dipping vegetables.

    Substitutions and variations

    • If you're not a fan of sour cream, feel free to substitute with Greek yogurt. I tested with 2% plain Greek yogurt, and it still tasted great.
    • I used one smallish chipotle chili pepper and a teaspoon of the adobo sauce. That was enough kick for me, but I know that others may want it much hotter! Feel free to add in more to suit your tastes.
    • You could add some chipotle chili pepper powder too while you're at it if you want to set your mouth on fire 😉

    What to serve with it

    • Make a simple green salad, toss it with this dressing, and serve it as a side dish to pair with my Santa Fe Chicken Skillet, this Beef Taco Skillet, or Skillet Salsa Chicken.
    • It's also wonderful on nachos, burritos, steak, as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chicken tenders... the list goes on! Seriously, the possibilities are endless, and you'll want to drizzle it over just about everything. Basically, it makes any Tex-Mex recipe better.
    • You can also just make it the star of a taco salad as a main meal. Jazz it up with your favorite toppings like tortilla strips and avocado.

    Leftovers and storage

    • This dressing will keep in an airtight container for 5-7 days in the fridge. Our kitchen likes to use mason jars.
    • If you need to make ahead your salad, just store the components individually until you're ready to assemble and eat it.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
    • 1/3 cup mayo
    • 1/2 cup (lightly packed) cilantro
    • 1 chipotle chili pepper in adobo sauce + 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (or to taste)
    • Juice from 1/2 lime
    • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • Salt & pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Process on high for about 30 seconds.
    • Serve immediately or chill for an hour (or longer) prior to serving. It will keep in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container.

    Notes

    • I realize that the size of the chipotle chili peppers vary depending on the brand you buy. I would suggest using a SMALL pepper unless you want this recipe really spicy. 
    • Greek yogurt makes an excellent substitute for sour cream if you want to be more mindful of calories.
    • The recipe makes about a cup of dressing.
    • Nutritional information is provided as a courtesy only and should be construed as an estimate rather than a guarantee. Ingredients can vary and Salt & Lavender makes no guarantees to the accuracy of this information.

      It had a very strong overpowering taste of the sour lime juice. Very disappointing and I have to bring it to a family gathering tomorrow. I sure hope it tastes better after sitting in the fridge.

        Hi! We're sorry if it's not suited to your tastes. It's a reader favorite, so I'm unsure what went wrong in your kitchen. We don't suggest a ton of fresh lime juice as written, and readers have often added more. To state the obvious, any dressing is mellowed when it's actually tossed with a salad. In any case, we hope it works out at your family event, Donna.

      I made this sauce with the Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I personally don’t like it very much and I probably won’t make it again. I followed the recipe proportions exactly but it didn’t turn out for me. There’s a weird sweetness and doesn’t really taste like ranch at all. Might be better with the sour cream, though.

      I added juice of a while lime just because I'm a lime lover, otherwise followed exactly, using as dressing for a southwestern style Cobb salad and taco salads.
      I didn't add the extra adobo sauce and it was spicy enough with out it in my opinion

      Made this recipe tonight for a TexMex salad, amazing dressing!!! I had to substitute tube cilantro for fresh cilantro, regular paprika for smoked paprika, AND chipotle chili powder seasoning for fresh chipotle chili peppers and it STILL turned out amazing. My limes were super small so I used the juice of 1 whole lime. Thanks so much for such an easy and delicious dressing!

      At last I found a delicious dressing for my Mexican salad! I did leave out the Worcestershire sauce (not a fan of it) and I used regular paprika because that's what I had, and the dressing is fabulous! Also - I have a great hint for chipotle peppers in Adobo - I open the can and blend the entire contents in the blender, and then put into a ziploc bag. Flatten the bag out and freeze - and then you can break little pieces of chipotle in Adobo anytime you need it! It defrosts in the microwave in a snap! I was always opening a can of the stuff and it would go to waste - now it never does! Anyway, I never leave comments on recipes so this is saying something. Thanks so much, I will be making this again and again.

      This sauce is absolutely amazing! Made sweet potato fries, and this put them over the edge!!! Now, I'm one of those "fire eaters", so I added in more chilies and sauce, and some ghost pepper powder (wish someone made the superhots smoked). Just curious, I'm facing a coming snowstorm and won't be driving, but some more warm fries and sauce are in accordance. Any thoughts on using sriracha mayo as opposed to regular? Have it on hand, might have to give it a spin. Thanks!

      This is really delicious and so easy. I didn’t have enough sour cream so I mixed in some plain Greek yogurt. I also added a teaspoon of maple syrup because I wanted a little sweet contrast with the spicy notes. This dressing makes an excellent macaroni salad. If you add some chopped veggies and a can of drained black beans, it makes a lovely side dish or meal.

        Hi Juliette! Chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce are smoked and dried jalapeños rehydrated and canned in a sweet and tangy purée of tomato, vinegar, garlic, and some other spices (I took that definition from Google haha). Basically, they're found in small cans (tins), and they're widely used in the USA in Tex-Mex cooking. I live in Canada, and every major grocery store sells them in the Mexican foods section. It definitely has a unique flavor, and I can't think of a good substitute unfortunately. 🙁

          Juliette, the chipotle sauce Natasha uses in the recipe is the sauce that comes within the Chipotle chilli can. You don’t need to look for a different ingredient, the chilli and the sauce are in the same can.

      There's a spot in my home town that has an amazing Chipotle dressing that I must reverse engineer. This looks like a great place to start. Can't wait to try this. I plan to make and mix with brown rice, tomato, red onion, topped with cubed grilled chicken and avocado.

      The other dish I'm looking forward to is manifested by making nachos with this on the shredded cheddar before baking, then plate the chips and cover with chopped gem lettuce that's been tossed in a light Olive oil and lime dressing, salt and pepper, tomatoes, avocado.. and a little of the Chipotle ranch on top. Thanks, Natasha, for the post. You rock! I'll report back.

      Awesome recipe, thanks!! I love adobo peppers!! I usually use what’s left in my the can a pepper or 2 at a time to accompany the main dish. I have Mexican shredded chicken in the crock and will serve it over cilantro lime black bean rice. Add home made pico and cheese to these burrito bowls and slather the top in this amazing delish dressing!

      Made this for my hubby today. Used it on grilled chicken Sammy's with avocado and bacon for his. I used half sour cream and half Greek yogurt. That's what I had on hand. Was perfect!

        Thanks, Carrie! So glad you liked it. I don't currently include nutrition info on my recipes - sorry. I may at some point in the future, but I don't have a reliable way of calculating them right now that isn't extremely time-consuming.

      It tastes great. There are about 45 calories per oz. I wonder if you can get it lower by using a 1/4 cup of mayo, instead of 1/3, with no sacrifice of the taste. Most of the calories come from the mayo.

      Be careful too much Chipotle is deadly.

        Thanks! You could try that. Or use Greek yogurt instead... or half yogurt/half mayo. 🙂

      This dressing tastes wonderful, I love the smoky flavor! I used 2 tablespoons of dried cilantro rather than fresh and I have no regrets. I'll be writing it down in my book!

      Mine turned out SUPER spicy. I had to make a second batch with no pepper and blend the two together in order to be able to eat it. I will know to cut that pepper in half next time.

        Geez, I've made this plenty of times, and one pepper doesn't usually do that. That's good to know! I am not able to handle spice very well myself. I didn't realize that the peppers can come crazy hot. Thanks for leaving a comment! Glad you were able to still enjoy it.

      Made this dressing last night for our Deconstructed Shrimp Salad with all the fixings!
      This was so amazing! Hubby and our two kiddos raved about it and want me to make more soon!
      I used fresh garlic & sourcream (didn't have powdered garlic or powdered onion on hand so I omitted the onion with no sacrifice to flavor...al all!) ...can't wait to try with Greek yogurt in place of sour cream!
      Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe!💕
