    Salsa and sour cream are a classic combination, but have you ever thought about combining them into one delicious dressing? This Creamy Salsa Dressing recipe takes the best of both worlds and creates a versatile dressing that is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

    What was the inspiration for this easy Creamy Salsa Dressing?

    Confession: I absolutely love Chick-fil-A's Creamy Salsa dressing! The tangy and slightly spicy flavor is the perfect complement to their sandwiches and salads and I order a few packs every time we drive-thru.

    Their dressing has just the right amount of creaminess and the overall taste is so well-balanced - I had to recreate it at home for myself.

    Tips and tricks for making and using this easy dressing recipe.

    • For a milder dressing, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno before dicing.
    • Experiment with different types of salsa for different flavor profiles.
    • Use this dressing as a dip for veggies or chips.
    • For an extra zing, add a little extra lime juice or some of your favorite chile powder.

    What does this recipe for Creamy Salsa Dressing taste like?

    This dressing is a quick and easy recipe that packs a punch of flavor. The sour cream and yogurt create a creamy base, while the salsa and cumin add a smoky and tangy twist. The lime juice and zest give it a bright and refreshing taste, while the jalapeno and cilantro add a nice kick. Try it on your next salad, sandwich, or wrap and taste the difference!

    Our favorite ways to use this dressing are all listed below!

    There are lots of delicious ways to enjoy this recipe for salad dressing. Be sure to pin these delicious ideas to Pinterest so you have them saved to make later!

    Taco Salad with Walnut Taco Meat

    Traditional meat-filled taco salads are a delicious staple in many households, but have you ever thought about switching the traditional meat-based filling for something a little different? Enter: walnut taco meat, a homemade plant-based ground beef alternative that is easy to make and tastes great!

    I love smothering this salad with Creamy Salsa Dressing and so will you.

    Crunchy Gluten Free Avocado Taco

    Warm refried beans on a frico'dilla tortilla (crispy cheesy tortilla), sprinkle on some greens then nestle in a crispy avocado spear.

    These tacos are fine on their own but even better drizzled with this delicious dressing.
