Creamy Tomatillo Salad Dressing

Okay, for those of you who love Cafe Rio salads, this dressing is for you.
I have tried 3 different knock-off recipes, and this one is by far the best & closest to the real thing.
Pair it with our Cafe Rio Pork & Cilantro Lime Rice recipes.

1 c. buttermilk
1 c. mayo
1 pckg. dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix (I use Hidden Valley)
2 tomatillos (husked)
2 Jalapenos (seeded)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
Juice from 1/2 fresh lime
1 clove garlic

*Puree all ingredients in a blender.  Refrigerate until chilled.

Makes about 1 quart (so plenty to share)
