Creamy Cilantro Dressing

September 13, 2008
Here's the recipe for the Creamy Cilantro Dressing from Cafe Rio. It's fabulous and easy. You can use this dressing on your own Cafe Rio-style salads, burritos, or –my favorite– on grilled cheese sandwiches. Mmmm. Hope you enjoy! You can download a printable recipe card here. Creamy Cilantro Dressing 1/3 cup buttermilk 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup cilantro leaves 1/4 teaspoon crushed jalapeno pepper* 1 Ranch mix packet 2 cloves garlic 3 tomatillos Add all ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth. Makes about one quart. *The recipe calls for crushed jalapeno, but I used crushed red pepper instead. It wasn’t quite as spicy, but tasted the same.
