One of my friends was bemoaning the fact that they can't buy this dressing in the grocery store. So I decided I needed to figure out how to make it. Here's my version. It's great on salad. We also enjoyed it on chips as a dip, although it's not quite thick enough for dip.
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 pkg Dry (unmixed) Ranch Dressing Mix (I used Hidden Valley)
3 fresh, chopped Tomatillos
1 cup fresh, chopped cilantro
6 stalks fresh green onions, white and green, chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
3 teaspoons sugar
1 small jalapeno pepper, chopped
Juice from 1 lime
Mix buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir in Ranch Dressing Mix. Add the tomatillos, cilantro, green onions, garlic, sugar, and jalapeno. Mix well. Stir in sugar and lime juice. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
Serve on burritos, salad, or with chips.

Famous Salsa
This is a great salsa. Very quick and easy to make and tastes delicious. So any time you can't have or don't want salsa with fresh tomatoes, this is the salsa to choose.

½ onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
juice from ½ lime
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup canned sliced green chiles, or to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, lime juice, salt, green chiles, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Blend on low to desired smoothness.

Mango Salsa
Ingredients:
2 ripe mangos, peeled, pitted, and diced
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cucumber, peeled and diced
1/4 yellow sweet pepper, finely diced
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (I use my kitchen scissors to chop the cilantro)
Lime juice from 1 fresh lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. It's good fresh, but is better if left in the refrigerator for a couple of hours for the flavors to combine.
This salsa is yummy and so easy to make. It's great served with chips, but is also wonderful on grilled chicken. Last time I made it I added a little bit of crushed pineapple. Not too much since it has a stronger flavor than the mango.
