Creamy Lime-Cilantro Dressing

This is a great Mexican food dipping sauce or salad dressing. The original recipe blog says it's her knock off Costa Vida/Cafe Rio dressing. We used it to dip our Baked Chicken Taquitos, which was amazing!

INGREDIENTS

1 pack (1oz) Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
ignore directions on the packet
1 C mayo
1/2 C buttermilk (or milk works, too I just added about 1-2 tsp of lemon juice as well if I did milk)
1 lime, juiced (about 2 Tbsp. lime juice)
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped (or 1 tsp. minced garlic)
1/2 C roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 C green salsa
hot sauce (I totally forget it called for this and never added it, but it was still amazing.)

DIRECTIONS

Mix milk, mayo, ranch in a blender. Add lime juice. Toss in garlic, cilantro and green salsa. Blend. Sample and add hot sauce to taste. Make several hours ahead of time to allow it to thicken.

Original recipe called for a chunky salsa, I only had the Taco Bell Salsa Verde that I used for this and the taquitos and it was great!

Enjoy!
