Cilantro Lime Dressing Ingredients
- Cilantro – For the base, most of the flavor comes from the fresh cilantro. It tastes mildly citrusy and peppery, but nothing too pungent.
- Lime Juice – For the tangy, acidic element, you’ll be using lime juice. Limes tend to be slightly more bitter compared to lemon, but it goes perfectly with this dressing.
- Olive Oil – Salad dressings can be oil-based or cream-based, so for this recipe, it uses olive oil.
- Honey – Honey helps to dial back the acidity and to balance out the other flavors in the dressing.
- Flavorings – Honey, ground coriander, sea salt, garlic cloves.
How to Make Cilantro Lime Dressing
- Put all of your ingredients in the food processor. Make sure to take out any large stems from the cilantro.
- Blend until smooth. It’s normal for some of the oil to rise to the top and separate.
- Transfer to a container. Mix well before serving.
Storing and Freezing Instructions:
- To store: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
- To freeze: Freezing this cilantro lime dressing is not recommended.
