Lime Cilantro Ranch Dressing (Cafe Rio dressing) -- Suzanne Kingsford

This is the salad dressing recipe that was used on the pork salads at RS the other night. It's good on a Cafe Rio type salad, or any other southwest salad. I even like to use it in burritos or to dip quesadillas in. (For those of you like me that get sick of eating the same things that your kids eat for lunch - this is a great addition!)

Lime Cilantro Ranch Dressing (Cafe Rio dressing)
1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
juice from one lime (or if you're lazy like me, about 2 Tbsp of lime juice from the bottle)
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 cup green salsa
hot sauce to taste

Here's the hard part - throw all ingredients into a blender and blend. Add hot sauce to taste after everything has been blended. You won't need more than a few shakes unless you like things really spicy. Refrigerate for awhile to thicken. This is the closest to the Cafe Rio dressing and easiest to make ie: no chopping tomatillos. You won't be disappointed.
