Steps
Wash the cilantro and prepare the jalapeños, garlic, and lime. For a milder dressing, remove the jalapeño seeds and membranes before blending.
Add the jalapeños, washed cilantro, mayonnaise, and milk to a blender. Use slightly more or less milk depending on whether you want a thinner or thicker dressing.
Add the garlic, red wine vinegar, ranch seasoning, salt, black pepper, sugar, and the juice of 1 lime. If the lime is not very juicy, add the juice of a second lime.
Blend on high for about 1 minute, or until the dressing changes from white to green and the cilantro is thoroughly incorporated. Blend longer if needed to eliminate visible cilantro pieces and achieve a smooth texture.
Pour the dressing into a covered container. It will initially seem quite thin, but it will thicken as it sits. If it becomes too thick, stir in a little additional milk.
Serve with sweet pork tacos, over salads, or as a dip for taquitos.
Notes
Refrigerate in a covered container. The dressing thickens as it rests; loosen it with additional milk if necessary. The creator has made this recipe for more than 20 years.
