Cafe Rio Recipe


Hey Ladies!

Marcy asked for the recipe of the food I brought last month to book club. So here you have it. Enjoy!

Cafe Rio Dressing
2 cups mayo
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1/2 bunch cilantro (leaves only)
2 tbsp water
1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 jalepeno- no seeds
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
combine all in a blender

Cafe Rio Rice (I got this one from Cumorah)
3 c water
4 garlic cloves minced
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 can green chiles
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
1/2 onion
1 1/2 cup rice

Bring cilantro, green chilies, and onion together in food processor. Bring water to boil and add all ingredients. Simmer covered for 30 minutes.

With the rice, I added black beans and corn and we used both the rice and the dressing as a dip and it was really yummy! Can't wait to see everyone in September. Good luck with getting back into school routines!

Thank you Liz! There was chicken also, right? You cooked that separately and then added it to the rice? I hope you're feeling better soon.
