Jenn made this dressing when we were in Washington.  It was so delish!  We were dipping it with Taquitos.  Would be good on salad, burritos, quesidallas, burgers etc.

Put-It-On-Allthethings Cilantro Ranch Dressing And Sauce

Makes 2 cups

• 1 cup bottled salsa verde
• 1 (0.4 oz) packet buttermilk ranch dressing mix (or the homemade equivalent)
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic, about a clove
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons sugar or honey

1. Add all the ingredients to the jar of your blender and blend until smooth. Store in a covered air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week (a mason jar works great for this!). Enjoy on everything.

QUICK BASIC SALSA

QUICK BASIC SALSA

Lisa made this for a party we had.  It was yummy and disappeared quickly.

This is a great salsa for any occasion. Use in burritos, tacos or with your favorite tortilla chips. It's really easy and tastes great!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups seeded, chopped tomatoes (6-7 medium tomatoes)
• the leaves from one bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped*
• 6 cloves fresh chopped garlic
• 1/2 an onion chopped
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• about 1 tablespoon lime juice

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

Mix all ingredients until well incorporated. Refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.

*If you grab a handful of leaves from the top of the bunch and pull them out firmly, you will get mostly leaves. If a few stems are in there, it's okay.

None

Just ok. -Romas or sweet but firm hot house tomatoes. -Cut the cilantro and garlic in half. -Nix the ubiquitous jalapeno for a serrano or two. Refined heat. -Double the lime juice. -Add a tablespoon of wine or rice vinegar. Adds a tang and extents shelf life. -1/4 tsp white pepper, adds different kind of heat. What's unique about this salsa you get all five flavors. Sweet. Sour. Hot. Bitter. Umami.

strawberries, banana or cherries.

2 tbsp. lemon juice

2 tbsp. lime juice

1/3 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Pour into two 1-quart freezer zipped bags.

Store bags flat in freezer.

Freeze 1 1/2 hours or until slushy.

Stir pineapple slush gently into whipped cream until slightly blended in large bowl. Return
