Cafe Río Dressing/Dip

This is great served with veggies, on salads, or with the Cafe Río Pork.

Update: We've found we like this one from Our Best Bites even better. (Don't use light mayo, it tastes much better with regular.)

-----------------------------------
1 pack (1oz) Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
ignore directions on the packet
1C mayo
1/2 C buttermilk (or milk works, too)
1 lime, juiced
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 C roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 C green salsa
hot sauce to taste
-----------------------------------
Combine in blender and blend till smooth. Makes 2 cups. Best if allowed to set up in the fridge for at least an hour.

Old recipe (this one is less fattening)
-----------------------------------
1 C Fat Free Mayo
1 C buttermilk
1 packet Ranch Dressing mix
2 Tomatillos
1/2 Jalapeño pepper (to taste)
1 bunch cilantro
Juice from 1 lime
1-2 cloves garlic (to taste)
-----------------------------------
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Makes 4 cups. (Be careful with the Jalapeño pepper, it doesn't take much to make it spicy. Same goes for the garlic)

NOTE: You can mess with the first two ingredients a bit to find what you like best. Mayo, buttermilk, and sour cream are the most common main ingredients for this dip. Two cups of Mayo, or a cup of mayo and a cup of sour cream, or 1/2 cup mayo and 1 1/2 cups sour cream, etc...
