Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the cilantro thoroughly and dry it using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or crush them using a garlic press.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, white vinegar, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground cumin, and water.
Blend the ingredients on a medium speed setting until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If the dressing is too thick, you can add additional water one teaspoon at a time to reach the desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the flavor if needed. If you prefer more citrus, add a bit more lime juice. If a touch of sweetness is desired, add a bit more honey.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake well before serving. This dressing can be refrigerated for up to one week.
