I'm kind of a dork, the first time I went to Cafe Rio I tried the Sweet Barbacoa Pork burrito and ever since I have always gotten when I have returned. I had never tried the salad before and as such had never tried the Cilantro Ranch Dressing. This time around when I made the Sweet Barbacoa Pork I decided to be different (and a little brave) and make this dressing. Because I knew it would make a bunch I invited Ben/Sonia/family over to join us. I had Sonia try the dressing and she said that it was really good (she had tried it before). I ended up not adding the jalapeño but I think that it was still really good.
Copycat Cafe Rio Cilantro Ranch Dressing
Recipe came from Family Favorite Recipes
1 packet TRADITIONAL Hidden Valley Ranch mix (not BUTTERMILK)
1 c. mayonnaise
1 c. buttermilk
2 tomatillos, remove husk, diced
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 jalepeno (we like it SPICY so we kept the seeds in it, if you like it mild, just remove the seeds)
Mix all ingredients together in the blender. That's it!
