Spicy ranch dressing
Ranch dressing will most always my number one pick. Sometimes though, a recipe calls for a bit of smoky richness, like the mini chipotle wedge salad. How cute are those?? Seriously, I can eat a whole platter with my hands. So crispy crunchy good.
This chipotle ranch dressing is as spicy or mild as you make it! Love a spice level that brings a tear to your eye? Add a bunch of those chipotles. Want just a hint of smoky flavor? Maybe just begin by adding some of the adobo sauce from the canned chipotles.
Either way, the extra layer of flavor here is delicious and versatile with so many recipes.

My favorite salad dressing bottle
This chipotle ranch dressing needs a blender to puree the peppers, but then I transfer the finished dressing to a bottle. When I am making a salad dressing that can be made by shaking the ingredients, I will make it right in the bottle.
Whenever this is in a video or photos, so many ask about it: this is my favorite salad dressing bottle. The fun and functional design comes in two sizes - this is the smaller size bottle. I have both, and use the tall one more frequently but they both get used a lot. They don't spill or leak.
How long does salad dressing last?
When refrigerated in a tightly covered container, this dressing will be fresh and flavorful for one week. It probably won’t last anywhere near that long – this deliciousness disappears quickly in our house.
