How to Make Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing
- In a blender, combine 1 cup tomatillos (husked and roughly chopped), 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves, 1/4 cup chopped white onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and roughly chopped, adjust to taste), 1/4 cup lime juice (about 1 large lime), 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk dressing (prepared according to package directions).
- Slowly drizzle the blended tomatillo mixture into the buttermilk dressing while whisking constantly to emulsify and create a smooth sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, jalapeño, or cumin to your preference.
- Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is optional, but recommended.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
