cafe rio{ish} creamy tomatillo dressing (Amber Hansen)

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup mayonnaise (use real mayo or die!)

1 package buttermilk ranch dressing mix

1/2 bunch cilantro

1-2 cloves garlic (or about 1 teaspoon pre-minced)

juice of one lime

3 jalapenos

4 tomatillos

peel the husk from the tomatillos. wash & quarter the tomatillos. cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. {if you can't handle a little heat, go ahead & take out the seeds & veins which is where the spice comes from. i left everything in. yum.} spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. place tomatillos & jalapenos on it & bake at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until veggies are soft & slightly charred. set aside to cool. in a blender, mix buttermilk, mayonnaise, dressing mix, cilantro, garlic, & lime juice. remove most of the seeds & juice from the roasted tomatillo quarters, but add the flesh & skin, along with the jalapenos to the blender & puree. Chill for an hour. tip: if you don't squeeze most of the liquid from the tomatillos, your dressing will be too runny & too many of the crunchy seeds will ruin the texture. a few are fine, but you don't want them all.
