Creamy Jalapeno Dip

If you've ever been to Chuy's, and have functioning tastebuds, you know how imperative it was to our budget to figure out the copy cat recipe for their Creamy Jalapeno Dip!  This is dip, salad dressing, or a quick addition to rice for a crazy-awesome side dish.  It goes on tacos, and chicken, and steak, and in my mouth.  Stan stops just shy of drinking it straight. Cora takes it in a bowl and laps it up with her fingers, occasionally adding a chip.

Creamy Jalapeno Dip

5-7 medium jalapenos, seeded
2 small bunches cilantro
1 c buttermilk
3 c mayonnaise
1 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 t salt
1 packet ranch dressing mix

Toss it all in the food processor and blend, blend, blend.  Serve chilled with chips and veggies for dipping. Keep refrigerated.  I'd like to tell you how long it keeps in the fridge, but it never lasts that long around here.  Best guess 3 days, longer depending on how fresh your ingredients were.
(Best practice for longevity -of any dip- is to pour servings each time so you're not risking contamination of the whole recipe when you eat... you know who you are, you double dippers, you.)
