Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 6 tomatillos, rinsed and halved
  • 1 jalapeno, halved
  • 1 red onion, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup Mexican crema
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the tomatillos, jalapeno, and red onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Place in the oven and roast until the vegetables begin to brown and slightly blacken, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove all contents from the baking sheet to a food processor and allow to cool slightly before blending. Add the cumin, crema, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Puree until smooth. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Immediately before serving, toss the dressing with the lettuce, tomatoes, and radishes.

    This was the most tasteless thing I have every made. Like other reviewers I tried adding other spices to liven it up. Just plain awful. I threw it all away. Waste of time and money.

    This dressing was tasteless and I even added extra spices. It was also too chunky for my liking

    This recipe was easy to follow and turned out very tasty.
    I do agree that this is a thick dressing but if you follow the directions and mix it with the salad ingredients then it mixes well together.
