I have a super fast and easy variation on a standard Ranch dressing for you today. This is really delicious on burrito bowls, taco salads or use it as a dip for fresh veggies and chips.
This takes literally minutes to whip up in the blender and it will last a few weeks in the fridge.
Here is the basic recipe. You can add a little jalapeno if you prefer for a bit of a kick or if you want a slightly more zesty flavor add just a bit of lime juice.

Last year I gave our teachers a Tomatillo plant as part of Teacher Appreciation week. I attached a gift card from Whole Foods and put a tag on the plant with a recipe for tomatillo salad dressing on the back side. The Whole Foods gift cards are really cute because they say lunch money on them which I thought was cute for a teacher.
I posted a quick shot of the gifts on Instagram last year– here is what they looked like:
Anyway, give this a shot and come back and let me know what you think!
