Cilantro Tomatillo Dressing Recipe

Below is the recipe for my Cilantro Tomatillo Dressing.

I've been making this for a number of years now, but was always annoyed by how runny it was and how easily it separated when in the fridge.  To mitigate this, I added a Hidden Valley Ranch mix packet which gave it more thickness and prevents the separation.

I love how easy it is to adjust this recipe to your own personal tastes, so go for it!  This dressing is great for salads, on chicken, rice, in burritos, as a dipping sauce...try it wherever!

Cilantro Tomatillo Dressing

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup buttermilk
2-3 tomatillos (quartered)
½ bunch fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic
3 tsp lime juice (adjust to taste preference)
1 jalapeno (seeds removed for less spice)
1 green onion
¼ tsp cumin
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch mix

Put all ingredients in a blender and mix until well-combined.  You can adjust the flavors to suit your tastes (I prefer more lime juice, more tomatillo, and no seeds from the jalapeno).


Refrigerate.
