A ranch dipping sauce with teeth…
On paper, habanero pepper and ranch dressing is sort of like fire and ice. One’s hot and somewhat fruity, the other creamy and smooth. But, chili peppers pair very well with “opposite” ingredients (chili chocolate anyone?), so it should come as no surprise that habanero ranch sauce is simply delicious. Pairing it with buffalo chicken wings is magic, and it’s a terrific side to crudité platters to bring some unique spice to the table.
