Here you go!

I've had a few requests from some friends of mine to post the delicious Cafe Rio salad dressing I made a while ago, so here it is. It is a little thicker than the real thing, but it is as close as you're gonna get without buying it! I got this recipe from my sister-in-law Jane's ward cookbook.


Cafe Rio's creamy tomatillo dressing;


3 fresh tomatillos, cut into quarters
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 cup buttermilk (or make with dry buttermilk mix)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 package of dry ranch buttermilk dressing mix
1 cup fresh cilantro (about 1 bunch)
5 stalks (1/2 bunch of green onions with ends)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, crushed
4 tsp sugar or other sweetener



Combine well in blender and refrigerate for one hour.


I kinda improvised with some of the ingredients and added more or less of the ingredients depending on what I had and what tasted good. It makes a lot, so plan on eating a salad for the next few days!


Also, we had a really fun valentines day and holiday weekend- Saturday was really laid back, and then we went to a fancy dinner at Cafe Madrid. To tell you the truth, it was a little too expensive and I didn't enjoy the food that much- but the atmosphere, service and company was great! The Amazing Race started on Sunday, and we went over to Brandy and Dave's to watch the first episode. Jared wants to be on that show so bad, and I think it would be so fun, but so stressful. I like to travel- but not like that! On Monday we helped Jared's parents paint their bedroom a new fresh color, and then we went to a movie...Then it was back to the daily grind! I sure do love my weekends and the chance it gives me to catch my breath before another week begins!
