This 10-minute recipe has all the creaminess you love from ranch dip with an added spicy kick! Southwest Ranch Dip is crazy delicious served with carrots, celery, and chips. Plus it’s awesome as a dressing, marinade, or a spread on burgers and wraps.
This is one of those fun recipes that you’ll spend time thinking of ways to use! Not only does Southwest Ranch Dip double as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, and burgers, it’s so good with roasted potatoes or carrots. I’ve also turned it into a salad dressing tossed with crisp iceberg lettuce and tomatoes.
For an easy recipe to make for the Super Bowl or game day, this has become my new favorite. I tend to have all of the ingredients on hand which is also a bonus. I blend all the ingredients together, chill in the fridge for a few hours then serve with fresh veggies and tortilla chips. Southwest Ranch dip is the perfect combination of creamy, cool, spicy flavors mixed together for a flavor explosion in every bite!

Can Southwest Ranch Dip Be Made Ahead Of Time?
