**Copycat** Costa Vida Ranch Salad Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tomatillos, medium, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 cup cilantro, fresh
5 scallions (white and ends)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 ounce ranch dressing mix (I use 1 pkt. Hidden Valley mix)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 jalapeno, chopped

Preparation

Put all ingredients in the blender and blend well. If you like it a little more mild, use less cayenne pepper and less of the jalepeno seeds. I usually only use 5-6 seeds & a tiny piece of the core. My mom uses the whole pepper seeds and all.
\"Cooking\" time does NOT include chilling time - chill in fridge for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
