Cafe Rio Dressing
Description
Cafe Rio Dressing features a creamy base of mayonnaise and sour cream infused with ranch dressing mix and fresh cilantro. The addition of tomatillos provides a mild tartness that brightens the flavor, complemented by minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and diced jalapeno peppers for layered savory heat. Lime juice adds acidity to balance the richness, while buttermilk thins the consistency to a smooth pourable texture.
The ingredients are blended until homogenous, and the dressing can be adjusted with more buttermilk for desired pourability. This dressing pairs well with Mexican-style dishes like burritos, salads, or grilled vegetables, offering a cool counterpoint to spicy or smoky flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 packet Ranch dressing mix or 3 tablespoons

- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3-4 tomatillos
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in the blender. Add milk until it's the consistency you want (I did about ⅓ cup).
