Ingredients
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 medium-sized tomatillos, husked and left whole
- 1 package (.4 ounce) dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
How to Make
-
Step 1: Place the tomatillos and the water in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, covered for 8 minutes. Checking frequently so it doesn't dry out. Add water as necessary - there should still be some water in the pot when done. Let cool to room temperature.
-
Step 2: Scoop the tomatillos into a blender jar, along with 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid.
-
Step 3: Add the remaining ingredients to the blender jar and pulse 2 to 3 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add extra water or cooking liquid 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to reach desired consistency.
-
Step 4: Chill at least 1 hour before use and store refrigerated in airtight container. Makes approximately 2 cups of sauce.
