    4c water
    2 cloves of garlic
    2t of chicken bouillon
    Boil for a minute, then add 2c of brown rice, cook 40 min, then add 1-2t lime juice, 1/2c cilantro

    I love to make the dressing, beans, and rice in bulk then freeze and pull out when I need it

    Tomatillo Salad Dressing
    From Mandy

    3 fresh quartered tomatillos (or La Victoria-Mild green salsa)
    juice of 1 lime
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    1/2 cup mayonnaise (can subsititute plain yogurt)
    1/2 cup sour cream (not totally necessary)
    1 pkg. ranch buttermilk dressing mix
    1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
    4 green onions, cut into chunks
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    4 tsp sugar

    With the lime i like to cut off the peel and cut it in half and put it in the blender.Combine all ingredients in a blender; mix well. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.


    Serve with Costa Vida Salad or Chicken Taquitos

    One blogger said instead of tomatillos you can substitute- Green Salsa, La Victoria-Mild (pictured) is completely mild, whereas Herdez is much more spicy. I prefer La Victoria, as I get all of the flavor of the tomatillos but I control the level of heat with the hot sauce.
