Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, packed Fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 large, minced Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the fresh cilantro. Measure out 1 packed cup and add it to a blender or food processor.
Add fresh lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, white vinegar, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water to the blender with the cilantro.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed during blending to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice for tanginess, a pinch of salt for flavor, or a small amount of honey if you'd like it sweeter.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time and blend until your desired consistency is achieved.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a small jar or container with a lid. Shake well before serving.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake thoroughly before each use as separation may occur.
