Recipe: Meredith and Aaron's Creamy Cilantro Dressing

By popular demand, I give you one of the greatest dressings you can make at home. If you like cilantro, you'll love this dressing. (and you'll probably like it even if you don't love cilantro all that much:) It's delicious on pretty much anything, but especially good on salads, fajitas, tacos, and for dipping stuff. Look out! It's addictive!

Prep time: 10 min, serves 6-8

Ingredients:
  • 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 1-2 medium tomatillos (like little green tomatoes)
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed
  • 1/4 bunch of cilantro
  • juice of two limes
  • black pepper
  • milk or buttermilk as needed, to thin the consistency

Directions: ALL INGREDIENTS ARE APPROXIMATE AND "TO TASTE." You will need to adjust according to what you like, and how thick you want it. (We like ours with lots of cilantro and lime). Throw all ingredients in a blender and mix well.

Is this the yummy saucy stuff on the enchiladas you brought when I was sick?!?! That was so yummy. If that was something different, we'll need that recipe, too. :-)
