Equipment

Ingredients

1 Hidden Valley Ranch Mix Traditional
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup buttermilk
2 tomatillos remove husk, diced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeno

Instructions

Put all ingredients together in the blender and blend.
Blend to desired consistency, add some additional Buttermilk if too thick.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

If dressing is too thick for your liking, add in a little extra buttermilk.

If you prefer a dressing with a little more heat, add in some of the seeds of the jalapeno. Without the seeds, this dressing has very little heat.

Use real buttermilk, not a substitute whenever possible. If you don’t have buttermilk and need to substitute milk with lemon or vinegar, add in only 1/2 cup to the blender to start with, and then add a little more at a time until you get the consistency you like, this milk will be thinner than real buttermilk so you won't need as much.

For best results, use regular mayonnaise not Lite or Fat Free.
