Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette - Two Peas & Their Pod

Homemade salad dressings are the best and SO easy to make. A few of my favorites include: basil vinaigrette, balsamic vinaigrette, creamy cilantro lime dressing, and Caesar dressing.

I also LOVE this Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette. The flavors are fresh, robust, and the color is bright green, which just happens to be my favorite color. I love everything about this cilantro dressing.

You only need a handful of ingredients and a blender (or food processor) to whip up this flavorful dressing! It only takes 5 minutes to make and you can keep it in the fridge for up to one week.

Drizzle it over your favorite salads! It is also great with grilled chicken, fish, steak, tacos, and more! If you like cilantro, I guarantee you are going to love this simple vinaigrette!

Ingredients

• Cilantro– remove the stems and pack the leaves into a measuring cup. You will need 2 cups. Buy 2 bunches to be safe.
• Shallot– you can find shallots in the produce section by the garlic. A small shallot is fine.
• Garlic
• Lime Juice– always use fresh lime juice, not bottles.
• Red wine vinegar
• Oil– you can use olive oil or avocado oil.
• Kosher salt and black pepper– to taste!

How to Make Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

• In a blender, combine the cilantro, shallot, garlic, lime juice, red wine vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.
• Blend the dressing until smooth. It will be a vibrant green color!
• Taste and add more salt and pepper, if necessary. If you want more lime flavor, you can always add an extra squeeze of lime juice too!
