Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette

Submitted by SusieQusie

"Recipe by Our Best Bites - You'll just need a few ingredients that you may already have on hand--canola oil (olive oil was too strong), rice or white wine vinegar (regular white vinegar would also work), lime juice, sugar, Kosher salt, lots of garlic, and cilantro."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 2 cups
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 juicy limes)
• 1⁄4 cup white wine vinegar or 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 4 -5 garlic cloves
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 cup canola oil
• 1⁄2 cup roughly chopped cilantro, stems removed

directions

1. In the jar of your blender, combine lime juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, and sugar. Blend until ingredients are completely combined.
2. With the blender running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add cilantro and blend until the cilantro has broken down but still maintains some of its texture.
3. Serve with greens, on any type of Mexican salad, or use as a marinade.

Vibrant colour and flavour, simple winner! I only used 1/2 of the oil, as I usually do with all vinaigrettes, we just like it tangier that way.

This dressing is lovely and light. I added more lime juice and used less oil.
