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!
