Wash the cilantro thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, garlic cloves, honey, and apple cider vinegar.
Blend the ingredients until the cilantro is finely chopped and the mixture is smooth.
Add the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water to the mixture.
Continue blending until all ingredients are well combined and the dressing has reached the desired consistency. If it's too thick, more water can be added, one tablespoon at a time, until the preferred consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle with a lid for storage.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before each use. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
