Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 small, minced Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional, to adjust consistency) Water
Instructions
Wash the cilantro thoroughly and pat dry. Remove the thick stems, keeping mostly the leaves and tender stems.
In a blender or food processor, add the cilantro leaves, olive oil, lime juice, white wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and emulsified. If the consistency is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again to reach the desired texture.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice for tanginess, honey for sweetness, or salt for balance.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or airtight container. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake or stir well before using if separated.
