Lime Cilantro Dressing



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)
