This copy cat dressing from one of America’s favorite Mexican restaurants is to DIE FOR! Its smooth, tangy, savory, and light – meaning you can smother your salad in it and not feel guilty.
Its an easy dump and blend recipe. Anyone can do it! Especially when you have the power of a Ninja blender to back you up.
You’ll need to start with a ranch dressing base. You can either make your own, or use the store bought stuff. I HIGHLY recommend the homemade kind. It has a stronger, fresher flavor, and free of chemicals and preservatives the stuff from the store has.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of buttermilk ranch OR 1 1/2 cups of homemade ranch (see ingredients below)
- 4 cups of loosely packed cilantro
- 5 small tomatillos
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 TBS fresh lime juice
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried chives
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Quarter the tomatillos. Slice jalapeno in half and remove seeds and inner membrane.
- Place everything in the blender. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Keep in an air tight container for up to 1 week.
