Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip

I have a love affair with Chuy's Jalapeno Ranch dip.  I would happily go to Chuy's and eat that and chips for a meal.  I can't get enough of it.  I wouldn't say this recipe is exactly like it, but it is pretty darn close and fills the craving for me.  Bonus points are that my daughter loves it too and happily dips raw broccoli in it!

 


CHUY'S JALAPENO RANCH SAUCE
1 whole jalapeno, chopped, deveined and seeded (less if you don't like a lot of heat)
3-4 tablespoons cilantro without stems
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup tomatillo sauce (salsa verde)
1 package Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix

In a mini food processor put mayonnaise, buttermilk, jalapeno, cilantro, and salsa verde.  Blend well until smooth.  Remove from processor and place in a bowl.  Add Hidden Valley Ranch mix and stir well.  Chill several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.  Serve with chips or even as a dressing for salads.
