Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick Mild Taco Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Gather all your ingredients: You’ll need the Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix, mayonnaise, lime juice, and Mild Taco Seasoning. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.
  • In a blender, combine the mayonnaise and lime juice. Blend these two ingredients first to create a smooth base.
  • Add the Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix to the blender. This mix is potent and will infuse your dressing with all the classic ranch flavors we adore.
  • Now, sprinkle in the Mild Taco Seasoning. This ingredient is key to giving your dressing that unexpected twist!
  • Secure the lid on your blender tightly. Start blending on a low setting to combine everything smoothly, then increase to high speed for a few seconds.
  • Stop the blender and check the consistency. You’re looking for a creamy and smooth texture. If it’s too thick, feel free to add a splash of water or more lime juice to thin it out.
  • Once smooth, taste the dressing. Adjust it if needed! You can add a little more lime juice if you want extra tang or a pinch more seasoning if you prefer.
  • Transfer the Southwestern Ranch Dressing to a jar or airtight container. This dressing can be stored in the fridge for a week, but I doubt it'll last that long!
  • Enjoy your homemade dressing with salads, as a dip, or drizzled over your favorite dishes. It’s that easy!
