My sister Kristy has asked me for this recipe, so I decided to post it on my blog so everyone can enjoy it.
You will only need a few ingredients!!
Ingredients
2 cups prepared Ranch Dressing (I usually use a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch buttermilk mix, but you can make your own Homemade buttermilk ranch dressing or regular ranch dressing if you prefer)
1 small bunch cilantro, large stems removed (about 1/2 cup chopped cilantro)
2 large or 4 small tomatillos
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
2 T fresh lime juice
1 diced jalapeno pepper
1 small bunch cilantro, large stems removed (about 1/2 cup chopped cilantro)
2 large or 4 small tomatillos
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
2 T fresh lime juice
1 diced jalapeno pepper
How to Make this yummy Dressing
Prepare Ranch dressing according to directions on the package or recipe you're following and set aside. For a low fat version. Make your own Ranch dressing and use reduced fat mayo or half Greek yogurt and half reduced fat mayo.
Remove large cilantro stems, then wash leaves and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Add cilantro to food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until finely chopped. (If you don't have a food processor, I'd chop all ingredients well by hand and then blend dressing in a blender.)
Add tomatillos, garlic, lime juice, and Green Tabasco or chopped jalapeno to the food processor and pulse until ingredients are finely pureed. Add the 2 cups of prepared dressing and pulse just a few times, until ingredients are well combined. Chill dressing for an hour or two and serve. This will allow the flavor to set and thicken up.
Variations:
~To make a roasted tomatillo dressing, dice tomatillos, place on a baking sheet, and roast at 400F for 15-20 minutes before adding them to the food processor.
~If you'd like even more tomatillo flavor, use 4-5 large tomatillos and decrease the buttermilk or milk in the Ranch dressing by about 1/4 cup.

Thanks for posting this, I had a recipe but wasn't satisfied with it. This seems a little different so I am going to try this one! I will try the buttermilk ranch dressing too instead of the regular ranch this time. And roast the Tomatillos. Thank you for the recipe! :)
