Tomatillo Ranch Dressing

I love this tomatillo ranch dressing so much! It’s just the flavor bomb I love on salads, tacos, burritos, nachos, etc. or you can even just drink it, no judgment from me.

This recipe is really simple to make too! Just place ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. It’s that easy.

This recipe makes 32 ounces and any extra dressing can last in the refrigerator for a week or two (or longer, once it starts to taste funky throw it out). It can also be frozen for later.

I love this sauce with pork, chicken, beef or in vegetarian and vegan variations. Here are a few meat recipes that may work great with this.

This recipe can also easily be made vegan by using a plant based mayo, which I have done before and it works great! Look at the ingredients of your ranch packet to ensure it’s dairy free, if not, use the seasoning of ranch instead of the packet. (onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and parsley)
