Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 ounce packet powdered ranch dressing mix (about 2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup pickled jalapeño slices (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño juice (from the jar)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (or to taste)
1-2 fresh jalapenos, sliced into rings for garnish (optional)

Directions

Add sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, cilantro, pickled jalapeños, jalapeño juice, and lime juice to a blender or food processor.

Pulse a few times to break down the cilantro and jalapeños, then blend continuously until smooth and pale green.

Taste and adjust. Add salt, more ranch mix, more jalapeño juice, or more lime until it tastes bright and tangy.
Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes if time allows.

Garnish with a few sprigs of cilantro and jalapeno slices and serve with tortilla chips or over your favorite Tex-Mex dishes.
