Cilantro Lime Rice
WE TRIED CINCO DE MAYO 2012 - WE LIKED
2 cups rice
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 cups chicken broth (vegetable broth also works well)
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup cilantro leaves (with stems removed), snipped into small pieces
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and rice, and saute, stirring, until it starts to get golden brown. Remove from heat, and stir in broth, water, and salt.
3. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish, and spread it all out evenly in the pan. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour. When I made this, I was running late, so I just upped the temperature to 375 and baked it for 45-50 minutes, and it turned out just great.
4. Meanwhile, juice your lime. When the rice is finished baking, stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Serve immediately (hopefully as part of your amazing sweet pork salad--recipe to come!).

Cafe Rio Dressing
1 1/3 Cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Bunch of cilantro (leaves not the stems)
1 package ranch dressing mix
4 tbsp. salsa Verde (green salsa)
2 cloves of garlic
1/8 tsp. Tabasco sauce

Creamy Tomatillo Salad Dressing
(from Kalyn's Kitchen)
1 small bunch cilantro (stems removed)
2 large or 4 small tomatillos
1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (optional)
2 cups prepared ranch dressing (if you don't have any handy, you can use this recipe for homemade ranch dressing)
1. Wash and dry cilantro leaves. You can use a salad spinner or just pat them with paper towels. Chop cilantro leaves into small pieces (or throw them in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds). Roughly chop tomatillos.
2. Combine cilantro, tomatillos, garlic, lime juice, and jalapeno (if using) in a food processor or blender. Pulse until finely pureed. Add prepared ranch dressing and pulse until combined. If the dressing isn't quite the right balance for you, try adding another tomatillo.
3. Chill for 1-2 hours, then shout hooray and eat your delicious salad.
