Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

I love this stuff! When we make Cafe Rio Salads we always have leftovers and use it to dip quesadillas and slather on taco salad.

Place the following in a blender:

3 fresh tomatillos, cut into quarters
juice of ½ a lime
½ cup of buttermilk
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 pkg. dry Ranch Buttermilk Dressing Mix (regular Ranch dressing mix works fine)
1 cup fresh cilantro
6 stalks green onions, w/ ends
2 cloves crushed garlic
4 tsp. Sugar
5 cross section slices of jalapeƱo pepper (I'd say put these in one at a time and see how you like it. I like it, but you may not.)

Directions:
Combine well in blender and refrigerate one hour. A bit of salt and cayenne pepper have been omitted, so if you would like it spicier, you can add those.

P.S. You will get better results if you use mayo instead of miracle whip. I prefer miracle whip in general, but this recipe needs mayo, I promise.
