Name: Spicy Ranch Mojo Sauce
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 12 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 0.5 cup mayonnaise; 0.5 cup sour cream; 0.25 cup buttermilk; 1 tbsp pickled jalapeño brine; 1.5 tbsp pickled jalapeños (Finely minced; use 1–2 tablespoons according to desired heat.); 1 tsp miso paste (The recipe identifies this as the secret ingredient.); 0.75 tsp smoked paprika; 0.5 tsp dried dill; 0.5 tsp dried parsley; 0.25 tsp onion powder; 0.25 tsp garlic powder; 0.25 tsp ground coriander; 0.125 tsp cayenne pepper (Increase or decrease to taste.); 0.5 tsp black pepper; 0.5 tsp honey; salt (To taste.)

Steps

Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Add the pickled jalapeño brine, minced pickled jalapeños, and miso paste. Whisk thoroughly, pressing or breaking up the miso until no large lumps remain.
Add the smoked paprika, dried dill, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, ground coriander, cayenne, black pepper, and honey. Stir until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
Season with salt to taste, then whisk once more. Taste and adjust the jalapeños or cayenne if a hotter sauce is desired, or add a little more buttermilk if a thinner dressing consistency is preferred.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld. Stir before serving.

Notes

The source describes this as a recreation of a spicy ranch sauce served with fries at a restaurant in Joplin, Missouri. Keep refrigerated and use within about 5–7 days; stir if separation occurs.
