You already know I’m a ranch fiend, so throwing some spicy jalapeños in the mix is just an obvious choice. In addition to all the wonderful recipes I’ve drizzled this on in my book, this Jalapeño Ranch is gonna kick up all kinds of taco creations and take veggies and dip to a new level in your life.

Step 1

In a high-powered blender or small food processor combine the vegan mayonnaise, pickled jalapeños, lime juice, dill, chives, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt and blend until very smooth.

Alternatively, you can finely chop the jalapeños and herbs and combine the ingredients in a bowl or jar.
