Today my family gets chicken salads for lunch. My husband and older son had to run at 7:30 this morning, so no pics as usual. But here's my lunch - a mixed green salad from my salad bar and weekly food prep with corn, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro, blue corn tortilla chips, and some lip-smacking Tomatillo Ranch Dressing! Our whole family loves this stuff, so I decided to share the recipe with you today.
Tomatillo Ranch Dressing
1 pkg. buttermilk ranch dressing mix
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup lite mayonnaise
2 tomatillos ( husk removed)
½ bunch cilantro leaves
½ tsp. garlic powder
juice from ½ a lime
½ jalepeno, seeds removed
Throw all this into a blender and process until smooth. Keep refrigerated.
This recipe came from my SIL's neighborhood cookbook, and this recipe is credited to Alicia Thayn. I don't know her, but I LOVE her recipe! Try it out - if you like mexican food and ranch dressing, you should love this one : )
