Everyone loves ranch dressing but sometimes I feel it needs an extra kick. This Southwestern sauce brings the flavor and spice in a big way.

Once you make southwestern ranch once you’ll keep it in the fridge at all times. Great for veggies, tortilla chips and anything that needs a kick.

If you are looking for more tasty dipping sauces and dressings checkout my Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing, Hidden Valley Ranch Copycat or my Honey Dijon Dressing.

Southwestern Sauce Tips and Variations

Storage: Southwest ranch sauce will last up to 3 weeks in the fridge, after that it started to breakdown and become watery but it rarely lasts that long at my house before we make another batch

What to serve with: We serve this southwest ranch with all sorts of things from veggie trays and tortilla chips tp a dipping sauce for tacos, taquitos and chicken tenders.

Variations: You can make a salsa verde ranch by substitutions the red salsa for green. you can also puree some mashed avocado or store bought guacamole to make it thick and creamy.

Spicy it Up: Everyones palate is different but if you like an extra kick you can add diced jalapeños or pure some chipotle en adobe to add a smoky spicy kick to the recipe.

Fresh: I always have jarred salsa on hand but this recipe is even better with fresh salsa or pico de Gallo. NOTE* if using fresh ingredients the sauce will only last 2 weeks before breaking down.
