Instructions

Juice the lime to get 1/2 tablespoon lime juice. Combine all of the ingredients, including the lime juice, in a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
Taste dip and adjust. Add more seasonings to taste or increasing the chipotle peppers to heat preference. Add lime juice for a tangier sauce.
Serve as a veggie dip with sticks of celery, bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and snap peas. Serve with wings, almost any flavor of chicken wings pairs nicely with this dip. Use as a sandwich spread, drizzle on salads, tacos, or burrito bowls. Use as a dip for sweet potato fries. The sky is the limit!

Notes

Note 1: I highly recommend real, full-fat mayo for the best possible flavor in this dip.

Note 2: I've used both lite and full-fat sour cream in this dip and didn't notice much of a difference in flavor or creaminess, either works great.

Note 3: Unfortunately, prepared ranch dressing doesn't work in this recipe, only the dry seasoning packet. I love Hidden Valley® ranch seasoning mix (not sponsored). Don't prepare the packet according to package directions; just use the dry powder in this recipe.

Note 4: I buy a 7.5-ounce can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce and add 1 pepper at a time until I reach my desired spice level. You may want to remove the seeds for less spice in your dip.
