Ingredients
  • Half of a packet of Ranch dressing mix

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 small tomatillos
  • 1 clove garlic, cut into a few chunks
  • ½ bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 jalapeno, roughly chopped (leave the seeds for a little more heat - it won't be that hot, don't worry)
Instructions

  3. Quick note: You can substitute the ½ packet of ranch, ½ cup buttermilk and ½ cup mayo for 1 cup already prepared Ranch dressing.
