"Just Like" Cafe Rio's Creamy Tomatillo Ranch dressing

From: Kalyn's Kitchen
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups prepared Ranch Dressing (Hidden Valley Ranch, Buttermilk mix)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 large or 4 small tomatillos, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Green Tabasco sauce or 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
Directions:
  1. Prepare Ranch dressing according to directions on the package or recipe you're following and set aside.
  2. Remove large cilantro stems, then wash leaves and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Add cilantro to food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until finely chopped. If you don't have a food processor, chop all ingredients well by hand and then blend dressing in a blender.
  3. Add tomatillos, garlic, lime juice and Tabasco to the food processor and pulse until ingredients are finely pureed. Add the 2 cups of prepared dressing and pulse just a few times, until ingredients are well combined.
  4. Chill dressing for an hour or two and serve.
