Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing (Close Copycat) image

I have tried a few Copycat Creamy Tomatillo Recipes, and this is by far the best and closest to the original. It make a FABULOUS wrap for a quick healthy meal (tortilla, precooked and seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, dressing, and maybe cheese and sour cream if you like). Absolutely delicious and a quick meal in a pinch as long as you have some pre-cooked and seasoned meat on hand! Try the meat in this fajita recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/steak-or-chicken-fajitas-63786.
