I'm mostly posting this here so I don't lose it again but this is really, really good dressing. I think there's a bunch of Costa Vida resturants out west but I went to the one in Portland, ME and am now hooked!
Ingredients:
3 tomatillos, medium, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 cup cilantro, fresh
5 scallions (white and ends)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 ounce ranch dressing mix (i use 1 pkt. hidden valley mix)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 jalapeno, chopped
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in the blender and blend well. If you like it a little more mild, use less cayenne pepper and less of the jalepeno seeds. I usually only use 5-6 seeds & a tiny piece of the core. My mom uses the whole pepper seeds and all.
2. Cooking time does NOT include chilling time - chill in fridge for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
