Jar of homemade creamy serrano ranch dressing

Creamy Serrano Ranch (Dairy-Free)

by Gemma Aguayo-Murphy
This Serrano Ranch dressing is rich, creamy and completely dairy-free, making it a flavorful, wholesome alternative to traditional ranch. Blending fresh cilantro, spicy serrano, and a touch of tangy vinegar, it brings a bold, Mexican-inspired flavor to the classic dressing. Easy to make and with a perfect balance of heat and herbs, you'll never want to go back to store-bought again.
