Description
A creamy, spicy, and tangy dairy-free ranch sauce featuring jalapeño heat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt (soy or cashew recommended)
- 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1–2 tablespoons water, for thinning (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the plant-based yogurt, vegan mayonnaise, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl.
- Add the dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Taste the sauce. Add more salt or pepper if needed.
- If the sauce is too thick for your liking, whisk in water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a milder sauce, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before mincing.
- You can substitute fresh chives for dried dill if you prefer a fresher herb flavor.
- This sauce thickens as it chills; adjust consistency with water just before serving if necessary.
