1 small or medium jalapeño - Leave the seeds in if you like it spicier but see note in Café Tips above.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a blender container. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld. The dressing will also thicken a bit as it sits. If it's too thick, thin with milk as desired.

Notes

Nutritional information does include 1 packet of Buttermilk Dressing Mix. 3 tablespoons of the homemade recipe has approximately the same number of calories.
