This is supposedly the dressing from Cafe Rio. I found the recipe on The Girl Who Ate Everything. It goes great with her recipe for Cafe Rio's pork and cilantro rice. I think it's supposed to go on a salad but, it's great on tacos or as a dip, although it's a little runny and better for a dip after it has set for a day.
And, in case you don't know (I didn't), a tomatillo is basically a green tomato (duh!) and is usually covered in a leaf. I had to ask the produce guy to find me a tomatillo and then made the mistake of asking if I take the leaves off or what? He said "I don't know what the hell you do with the thing." Remove the leaves.
Tomatillo Dressing1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
1 C buttermilk
1 C Mayo
1 to 2 tomatillos
1/2 to 1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 to 1/3 bunch cilantro, chopped

Blend all together in a blender or food processor.
There is a southwestern salad that Eric makes that we always buy pre-made tomatillo sauce for, I should try this instead.
