jALapEnO rAncH anYoNe?

while we lived in austin, we ate at our favorite restaurant chuys...a lot.

one of the best things about chuys is their jalapeno ranch dip. it's so delicious.

one of the worst things about living in kc is not having a chuys.

clay found a recipe online that claimed to be chuys jalapeno ranch.

so i made it.

thought i'd share it with you.

ingredients

1 quart mayo
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped jalapeno
1 cup green tomatillo sauce
1/2 a bunch of cilantro, chopped
3 (1 ounce) packets of dry ranch dressing mix

directions

1. mix first 5 ingredients in blender until smooth
2. stir in ranch mix with a whisk
3. chill and serve

beware...this makes a lot! they're not joking about serving 28.

we decided to use sour cream instead of mayo. next time i might use half mayo and half sour cream. it was a little thicker than normal.

it was really good and almost the same as the real thing. i'd make it again...it was a hit.
