Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lime juice, honey, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream while whisking continuously (if using a bowl) to emulsify the dressing. If using a jar, add the olive oil, seal the lid tightly, and shake vigorously until the dressing is well mixed.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice for tartness or a pinch of salt for more flavor.
If desired, stir in finely chopped fresh cilantro for an additional burst of flavor.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk well before serving.
