Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

Here is the tomatillo dressing recipe that I said I was going to share with you on Monday. I am SLOW, but this is SO yummy!! Thanks to my neighbor for sharing it with me!!

I just finished eating this as a mid-morning snack. I LOVE to dip fresh warm tortillas into the dressing!! It is, of course, WONDERFUL with the Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Salad too:)



Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

Ingredients:

  • 3 tomatillos, peeled and cut into 1/4's
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 c. buttermilk
  • 1/2 c. mayo
  • 1/2 c. sour cream
  • 1 pkg. dry ranch buttermilk dressing
  • 1 c. fresh chopped cilantro
  • 6 green onions, with ends
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 3 t. sugar
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced thin

Directions: Mix well in blender(I used my food processor). Refrigerate for at least one hour.

*Note: When buying tomatillos, peel the skin back to the top of the tomatillo to make sure it is good. I have found some that look good until I peel the skin all the way back.

    I have been looking for the Cafe Rio recipe forever and have tried a few different variations--these one already looks like it's going to taste a lot like Cafe Rio's. Thanks for sharing!

    I've tried many versions of the Cafe' Rio Tomatillo dressing and I have to say this one is the best. I did have to make a few substitutions, I omitted the green onions and used green Tabasco instead of jalapenos. But the end result was delicious!!! Thanks for sharing.
