Cilantro Lime Ranch Dressing (Made from Scratch)

Cilantro lime ranch dressing is great on salads, veggies, tacos, tortilla chips, or just about any other Mexican dish you can think of.

Ranch dressing is one of my favorite things ever! And I love all the versions of ranch. Today I am re-creating one of my favorite ranch off-shoots: cilantro lime ranch. It is like a little fiesta in my mouth!🎉💃🏼

I am a little bit obsessed with making really great dressings, dips and sauces from scratch. It started as a hobby, y’all. I would go out to a restaurant and quickly become obsessed with re-creating some delicious dressing or sauce I enjoyed.

This one is not an outright copycat though. I have had different variations of cilantro lime ranch. So I wondered if I could take my existing ranch dressing recipe and make it into my own cilantro lime ranch.

And I am calling this one a WIN, y’all! ✅🙌🏻

I made this to go on some tacos (recipe for those coming very soon!), but I thought it was worthy of its own blog post. It’s that good!
