Hatch Chile Ranch Dressing

My favorite dressing!! If it’s not hatch chile season you can easily use a jalapeño or Anaheim pepper instead

You’ll need:

• 1 hatch chile

• 1/2 cup mayo

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1/4 cup buttermilk

• 1/2 cup cilantro

• 1/4 cup dill

• 1/4 cup parsley

• 2 tablespoons diced chives

• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

• salt + pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each)

Instructions

1. Cut the hatch chile in half, remove the stem and grill or roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. I grilled mine on a grill pan on my stove over medium high heat for 20 minutes

2. Cut the hatch chile into thirds. Add everything to a blender or food processor and blend until well mixed

3. Serve on a salad or as a dip!
