Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 whole jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water and pat dry with a towel. Roughly chop to make it easier to blend.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice the jalapeño in half. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic cloves, diced jalapeño, Dijon mustard, sea salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Pour the dressing into a glass jar or container and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use.
