Sorry I have not posted any good food lately. My plate is full, so to speak. However, as the summer comes to a close, I try and squeeze a little more from my garden. I just love fresh food! How about more fresh mex?



Tomatillo Ranch Dressing

1 pkg. Hidden Valley buttermilk ranch dressing mix
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. mayonnaise
1 or 2 tomatillos
½ to 1 clove garlic, minced
½ to ⅓ bunch cilantro, chopped
½ tsp. lime juice
½ to 1 small jalapeño, seeds removed

Blend ingredients together in a blender. Add additional mayonnaise if dressing is too thin. Keep refrigerated.
*As always, if you don't have buttermilk and don't want to make a trip to the store for it, you can make a substitution: 1 cup milk to 1 Tbsp. vinegar.
