I'm mostly posting this here so I don't lose it again but this is really, really good dressing. I think there's a bunch of Costa Vida resturants out west but I went to the one in Portland, ME and am now hooked!

Ingredients

10 serv.
  • tomatillos, medium, cut into quarters3
  • lime juice2 tablespoons
  • cilantro, fresh1 cup
  • scallions (white and ends)5
  • garlic cloves, crushed2
  • salt1⁄4 teaspoon

    or to taste

  • buttermilk1⁄2 cup
  • mayonnaise1⁄2 cup
  • sour cream1⁄2 cup
  • ranch dressing mix (I use 1 pkt. Hidden Valley mix)1 ounce
  • cayenne pepper1⁄4 teaspoon
  • jalapeno, chopped1

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Put all ingredients in the blender and blend well. If you like it a little more mild, use less cayenne pepper and less of the jalepeno seeds. I usually only use 5-6 seeds & a tiny piece of the core. My mom uses the whole pepper seeds and all.

  2. 2

    "Cooking" time does NOT include chilling time - chill in fridge for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
