Creamy Jalapeño (Chuy's Copycat, from scratch)
Creamy jalapeño dressing is like ranch with a spicy Mexican kick, and it is delicious on tortilla chips, salads and tacos. This recipe tastes just like the one at Chuy's!

This recipe makes 2 cups of dressing total.
Note: You can always add more jalapeños for even more heat. I would recommend with what is written and tasting before you add. The amount here is closest to the one I love from Chuy's.
