Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing

Part 3 of the pulled pork bar (click here for part 1 and part 2) - this creamy cilantro lime dressing is delicious and would be good on just about anything, not just pulled pork. Ok, obvi not good on 'anything' but you get my drift. This is good stuff. 



CREAMY CILANTRO LIME DRESSING

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (see note)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use light Hellman's)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (I use light)
  • 1/4 cup salsa verde or green enchilada sauce (I like Herdez brand)
  • 1 T. fresh lime juice, from about 1 medium lime (I use bottled)
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • 1 t. dried parsley
  • 1/2 t. onion powder
  • pinch of dried dill (about 1/8 t.)
  • pinch of salt (I use coarse)
  • pinch of black pepper (I use coarse)
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro (leaves only)
  • 1 green onion, white and green parts coarsely chopped, or small bunch of chives

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Thin with additional buttermilk, milk, or lime juice, if you need to adjust the consistency.

Refrigerate until ready to serve (it can be made several days in advance). Makes 2-3 cups



note: if you don't have buttermilk you can easily make it by adding a teaspoon of white vinegar to milk, let it set a few minutes (don't worry, it'll curdle and that's ok).
