Cafe Rio Tomatillo Ranch (With Cayenne)

482279's Note:

This is a recipe that I got from my sister, who got it from her husband's cousin, and so on. It is pretty similar to the other copycat recipes listed, but this one uses cayenne instead of jalapeno.

This is a delicious dressing. To me, it's not a good imitation of Cafe Rio's Creamy Tomatillo Dressing (I haven't found one that is). But anyway, I'm very glad to add this dressing to my collection! I found an identical recipe, except that it call for a jalapeno pepper... I'd like to try that as well.

Thanks!
