I've posted the Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing copy cat recipe once before, but I made a couple minor adjustments last night and I think it made a huge difference.

Café Rio Creamy Tomatillo Ranch Dressing

1 bottle fat free ranch dressing (I make mine from a Hidden Valley Ranch packet)
3 tomatillos chopped**
½ bunch of cilantro
1 clove garlic- minced
Juice of 1 lime
1 small jalapeño (remove the seeds)

Blend everything together in a food processor or blender.
The last recipe only called for 2 tomatillos, I used good size tomatillos and thought the flavor was much better this time. I also used less jalapeno this time, last time I used too much and it was a bit on the spicy side. This dressing isn't supposed to be really spicy, of course of you like spicy, by all means, spice away, but I used about a heaping tablespoon full of chopped jalapeno and it worked out perfect.

**Tomatillos can be found by the peppers in the produce section. See above picture. REMOVE the husk before using it.

I made the rice, chicken and dressing last night. Delish.
