Vegan Chipotle Ranch Dressing is smoky, spicy, and perfectly creamy. This dressing is a versatile sauce you'll want to drizzle on salads, tacos, bowls, and more.
I'm not much of a spicy dressing person, but honestly I'm obsessed with this dressing. It's the right level of spicy. It's definitely got a kick, but it's not going to fry your taste buds.
This vegan chipotle ranch dressing features chipotles in adobo sauce. I love how the chipotles are SMOKY. They add such a depth of flavor. The dressing is rich and deep and it makes me want to slather it on everything!

What Is Chipotle Ranch?
Chipotle ranch is a twist on classic ranch dressing that adds smoky, spicy depth thanks to chipotle peppers in adobo.
