Jalapeno Ranch Copycat dressing

I loved the Jalapeno Ranch dressing at Coco Bolo's, I would slather it on everything and anything. When Coco Bolo's closed I knew I needed to figure out how to make it at home, because how could I live without it? This recipe is the result of the need to replace the Jalapeno Ranch, and it is pretty darn delicious. Taste tested by other's who also loved and miss the "spicy music and loud food of Coco Bolo's!" Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Jalapeno Peppers Remove seeds and ribs befors adding to food processor. Depending on how much "heat" you like you might want to start with two!

  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, add Cilantro, Parsley and Jalapeno's (remove seeds and ribs). Pulse them until they are finely chopped. If you do not have a food processor, finely chop all three and set aside!
  • Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Add, Cilantro, Parsley and Jalapeno mix to the bowl and stir to combine.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 30 min, the longer you wait the better it gets so 1 hour is even better! Taste and enjoy!

Notes

It is important to let this recipe sit in the fridge for at least 30 min, an hour is better to allow all the flavors to mix together. At this time if you want more spice, you can add an extra Jalapeno!
If you favor one or the other of the fresh herbs, or simply have more (Cilantro and Parsley) on hand of one, feel free to adjust as you like. I liked a pretty equal mix of the two in the dressing, but have mixed it with more Cilantro and vice versa with Parsley and it is still pretty darn delicious! Feel free to play with it and see how you like it best!
