This one rivals the EL TORITO CREAMY CILANTRO dressing. The one they sell in the store does NOT measure up. Sooo, here goes!
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Anaheim chiles, roasted, peeled and seeded
1/3 cup roasted pepitas
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
12 oz. canola oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup lime juice
5 tablespoons grated Cotija cheese
2 small bunches cilantro, stemmed
1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup water
DIRECTIONS
Place all dressing ingredients except cilantro, mayonnaise and water in a blender or food processor. Blend for about 10 seconds and then add cilantro little by little until blended smooth.
Place mayonnaise and water in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the blended ingredients to the mayonnaise mixture and mix thoroughly. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate. Yields 1 quart!
