Creamy Tomatillo Cilantro Dressing

I know, I know, I was just saying that I can't get good Mexican food around here, when I actually have a Cafe Rio not too far away. But what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't reminisce and whine on occasion? On Cafe Rio's menu is a sensational creamy tomatillo dressing, so addictive that I've been forced to unlock the secret combination of ingredients. It's yummy on greens, but you'll want to drown all of your Mexican favorites in the slippery-spicy concoction. You'll either be grateful for my persistent tinkering, or you'll hate me when you slide into a pint a day habit.
