Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cilantro thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water or pat dry with a clean towel.
Add the cilantro, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, white vinegar, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper into a blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and well-combined, scraping down the sides of the blender or processor if needed.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or honey if preferred.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle with a lid. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
