I&#8217;ve tried a whole bunch, and this one is my personal favorite. Give it a try if you still haven&#8217;t found one that makes your taste buds sing!\u00a0I&#8217;m not going to pretend like this is the same as Cafe Rio&#8217;s, because it&#8217;s not (I&#8217;m pretty sure theirs uses mayonnaise, which you&#8217;re more than welcome to sub for here instead of the yogurt if you feel so inclined&#8230;I personally don&#8217;t think it needs it). This twist is healthier, and if you ask me, equally delicious. It&#8217;s creamy, limey, and packs an incredible flavor punch! I have a hard time not licking the bowl. And the best part about this dressing is its versatility&#8211;throw it on tacos, salads, loaded nachos, etc., and you&#8217;re sitting pretty. I have so many recipes that I use this stuff on (many of them pending!), so I&#8217;m never sad about the leftovers!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomatillo Lime Ranch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\n<li>3 tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed*<\/li>\n<li>2 large cloves garlic, peeled<\/li>\n<li>1 packet buttermilk ranch dressing seasoning<\/li>\n<li>1 large handful cilantro (leaves and stems)<\/li>\n<li>juice of 1-2 limes<\/li>\n<li>1 c fat-free plain greek yogurt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 an avocado<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 a jalape\u00f1o, seeded (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Method:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Place all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Add a little more yogurt if too thick, add more avocado if too thin. You can also add a little milk if you prefer a runnier dressing (start with 1\/8 cup).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> If your grocery store doesn&#8217;t sell tomatillos (sometimes they&#8217;re easier to find in the summer), you can use 1\/4-1\/3 c salsa verde and only 1\/2 a lime instead. But be warned, your final product won&#8217;t taste as fresh and the flavor will be different.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumb-image\" style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5a58c601aeb625214fc6d727\/1519503193205-XSJAHUGL0PW7FC7OZA6D\/tomatillo%2Branch+2.jpg\" alt=\"tomatillo+ranch 2.jpg\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5a58c601aeb625214fc6d727\/1519503193205-XSJAHUGL0PW7FC7OZA6D\/tomatillo%2Branch+2.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"1500x1169\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5a91c75853450a1796d2fd55\" data-type=\"image\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"\n          image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n\n        \" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"\n              sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\n            \" style=\"max-width: 1500px;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\" data-animation-override=\"\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<div class=\"image-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rated-Zulay-Premium-Quality-Squeezer\/dp\/B00YBP918M?psc=1&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAIOCEBIGP6NUBL47A&amp;tag=simmerandslic-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B00YBP918M\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/412ht0LhtaL.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"productDetails left\"><a class=\"product-title title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rated-Zulay-Premium-Quality-Squeezer\/dp\/B00YBP918M?psc=1&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAIOCEBIGP6NUBL47A&amp;tag=simmerandslic-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B00YBP918M\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">Top Rated Zulay Premium Quality Metal Lemon Lime Squeezer &#8211; Manual Citrus Press Juicer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"buy-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rated-Zulay-Premium-Quality-Squeezer\/dp\/B00YBP918M?psc=1&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAIOCEBIGP6NUBL47A&amp;tag=simmerandslic-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B00YBP918M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-animation-role=\"button\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"sqs-amazon-button sqs-system-button sqs-editable-button sqs-button-element--primary\"><br \/>\nBuy on Amazon<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like everybody and their mom has a recipe for this stuff.
