10-Minute Southwest Salad Dressing

garlic, (coarsely chopped)

smoked paprika

chopped chiles in adobo

cumin

salt

full fat sour cream

mayonnaise

lime juice

cilantro

Add all ingredients to a blender. (I use the small jar for my Blendtec. The personal sized ninja blenders work great too. Or you can use a whisk and bowl, just finely chop all necessary ingredients.) Blend for 30 seconds until smooth.

Scrape down sides and blend for 15 more seconds. Store in a covered glass jar for up to 1 week in refrigerator.

I whipped this up yesterday, using chipotle salsa, instead of the whole peppers and store bought minced garlic. It came together even quicker and was delicious! Thanks for another awesome recipe!!

Thank you so much for an amazing Southwestern dressing. I was wanting something just like this, could not find this type of dressing in a bottle. I have only been able to find a southwestern dressing in a salad kit. This is better!!! I will only make this. I also added the black beans, roasted corn and other treating salad toppings. Thanks again

This is so good and satisfying. I normally make vinaigrettes but needed to use up some sour cream so I made some and wow. It’s fantastic. I don’t think I should make it all the time, but it was really a nice break from oil and vinegar based dressing.

This is delicious.  Instead of a blender, I just used a whisk.  I wanted to keep it a little thicker to use as a dipping sauce for Southwest Egg Rolls.  It was a perfect complement.  Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

Any suggestions for a marinade so I could serve sliced grilled chicken breasts a top? Maybe marinate in some of this divine dressing then grill…? These salad bowls look scrumptious!

Oh wow, this is delicious! I make all my own dressings and this is definitely in the rotation now. Indeed, the chiles are not too hot-spicy when it’s all blended. Thank you, Amanda! Another winner.
