Jump to Recipe Cilantro Lime Dressing – a fresh and tangy dressing that is perfect for any salad, burrito bowl, tacos, or even as a dip. Mexican food has to be one of my favorite cuisines of all time. And one of the flavors I think of when I think Mexican is cilantro and lime. It is just a classic bright and fresh combo that makes for the best dressing! I first made this cilantro lime vinaigrette over 10 years ago when I started blogging. It is still a must make today and deserved better pictures and a little more information in the recipe! What’s In Cilantro Lime Dressing Vegetable Oil Lime Juice Cilantro White Wine Vinegar Garlic Sugar Salt Recipe Variations Often times you will see a creamy version of this that is equally as delicious. Mix in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and you will have a creamy and delicious dressing. Like it spicy? Add a little jalapeno in the first step. Honey or Agave would be a great substitute if you wanted to avoid refined sugar. This cilantro lime dressing is so easy to throw together in just minute with the help of a blender. And not only does it make a great salad dressing, it is a GREAT marinade for meats. Cilantro Lime Chicken is basically chicken marinated in this dressing and then grilled. Gives so much great flavor without a lot of work. How To Make Cilantro Lime Dressing In a blender or food processor, combine lime juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, and sugar. Blend until well combined. Then with the food processor running, add in a slow stream of oil. You want it to get nice and well blended together. Next pulse in the cilantro. You want the cilantro to be well blended, but still be able to see plenty of flecks, so don’t puree it for a long time. Storing Cilantro Lime Dressing You want to make sure it is in an air tight container. I like to use a mason jar with a screw on lid, so not only is it air tight it is always easy to pour and serve from. How Long Will Cilantro Lime Dressing Last You want to store this covered in the fridge for about a week. Let it warm up and shake well before you serve it.
