Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Raw apple cider vinegar
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 small Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Wash and dry the cilantro leaves thoroughly. Measure out 1 cup of loosely packed leaves, discarding the thick stems.
Peel the garlic cloves and chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds if less heat is desired.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, olive oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic cloves, chopped jalapeño, sea salt, black pepper, and honey.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and the cilantro is finely chopped, about 1 minute.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or lime juice to balance the flavors to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle with a lid. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake or stir well before serving. This dressing pairs beautifully with salads, grilled meats, or even as a dip for raw vegetables.
