Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise (I like Hellman's)
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt I use Fage
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup finely chopped cilantro packed tight (1 medium-size bunch)
  • 1 small or medium jalapeño - Leave the seeds in if you like it spicier but see note in Café Tips above.
  • 2 medium cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 3 tablespoons Buttermilk (Ranch) Dressing Mix 1 packet
  • milk to thin, if needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender container. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld. The dressing will also thicken a bit as it sits. If it's too thick, thin with milk as desired.

Notes

  • Nutritional information does include 1 packet of Buttermilk Dressing Mix. 3 tablespoons of the homemade recipe has approximately the same number of calories.
