How to Make the Best Chipotle Ranch Dressing Recipe

This homemade Chipotle Ranch Dressing elevates any salad, veggie platter, or sandwich with a smoky, creamy kick. Unlike store-bought ranch dressing, this version features fresh cilantro, real lime juice, and a hint of chipotle heat that makes it unforgettable. The combination of Greek yogurt and mayo creates the perfect creamy texture while keeping the flavor profile light and bright.

What makes this dressing so versatile is its double duty as both a dressing and a dip. Serve it alongside fresh vegetables, drizzle it over your favorite salad greens, or spread it on sandwiches and wraps. The best part? It comes together in just 10 minutes and keeps in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.

Since the recipe is vegan-adaptable and gluten-free, you can easily customize it to fit your dietary preferences without sacrificing any of that delicious smoky, zesty flavor that makes Chipotle Ranch so addictive.
