Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 fresh jalapeños
  • 1/3 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves

Dairy and Condiments

  • 1/2 cup good-quality mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup salsa verde (tomatillo salsa)

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jalapeños and Cilantro: In a blender or food processor, pulse the jalapeños until finely minced. Add the cilantro and pulse again until chopped. This creates a flavorful base with evenly distributed fresh herbs and heat.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients and Blend: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, salsa verde, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender. Process until the mixture is smooth and completely puréed. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors.
  3. Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally 8 or more, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. Serve chilled alongside tortilla chips or as a creamy spicy condiment.

Notes

  • You can remove seeds from jalapeños to reduce heat if desired.
  • Salsa verde adds a fresh tangy note; use your preferred variety.
  • For a thicker dip, reduce the buttermilk slightly.
  • Store leftover dip tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
