Maybe it's because I long for warmer weather and more sunshine. Or maybe it's because the avocados were on sale and avocados love cilantro. Whatever the reason, this lime-y cilantro vinaigrette reminds me of summer and is perfect drizzled over a salad of roasted corn, diced avocado, chopped veggies, and southwest grilled tofu (or chicken) on greens.
What you'll need:
1/4 cup lime juice
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
3 Tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 water
1/4 cup olive oil
What you'll do:
Place all of the ingredients except the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor (or a blender works too). Blend well. Then slowly pour in olive oil while processing (or blending) to emulsify. Store unused dressing in a covered container. Use within 3 days.
Yum! |
