This is a knock off of Costa Vida's dressing. I've made this recipe many times using tomatillos and always got frustrated that it turned out super watery the next day. I was reading on Our Best Bites, and they found the same problem. The solution was using a canned green verde salsa in place of the tomatillos. I've made this twice since that discovery and it has changed my life!! The verde salsa is the key ingredient. I changed the recipe slightly by adding a jalapeno instead of hot sauce and a little sugar- I think that helps balance the heat.
RECIPE
1 C. mayonnaise
1/2 C. buttermilk
1 package Ranch dressing mix
1 jalapeno (seeds removed- unless you want it really hot)
1 heaping tsp of crushed garlic
1 tsp sugar
1/2 C. cilantro, roughly chopped
juice from 1 lime (or 1-2 TBL bottled)
1/4 C. green verde salsa
*Throw everything in the blender and blend for 3 minutes. Pour into a mason jar or dressing container and refrigerate. (It doesn't last more than a week at my house)
