Café Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

(I am not sure where this recipe came from.  It was on a loose piece of paper stuffed tucked nicely into one of my recipe books.  My only guess is that it magically appeared there because I was meant to have it.  I know we shouldn’t drink salad dressing, but after tasting this, who can refuse? )

Puree (in a blender):
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 c. (or less) fresh chopped cilantro

Add the following to the puree:
3 fresh tomatillos—peeled and cut into quarters (p.s. tomatillos can be found in the fresh produce section, they kind of look like leaf wrapped green tomatoes. What? I never knew there were such a thing.)
Juice of 1/2 a lime
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 c. sour cream
1 8oz. Cream cheese
1 pkg. dry Ranch Buttermilk Dressing Mix
6 stalks green onions with ends
2 cloves crushed garlic
4 t. sugar
5 cross section slices of a jalapeno pepper

Refrigerate for 1 hour.  Tastes great on burritos, salad (with a little grilled chicken strips on top…yum!), or heck, go ahead, drink it.  It’s that good.
