Notes

Most copycat recipes for this call for 1 cup of buttermilk, but I think it ends up getting a little too runny after being in the fridge for a couple days, so I like using 3/4 cup of buttermilk.

If you want this to have kick, leave the seeds and membrane in the jalapeno.

I buy the large container of Hidden Valley Ranch Mix at Costco, so if you have that and not the packets, it’s 3 tablespoons of the dry mix.
