A friend had given me a bottle of commercial cilantro dressing, it was wonderful. The bottle got thrown out and could never quite find another that tasted as good; til I found your recipe. Thanks for sharing.

This came out better than I thought it would - I was a little leary since it was very oily - I only used 1/3 cup of EVOO and I used the juice from 2 limes. But I served this on a really nice salad that called for a lime-cilantro dressing - Recipe#381296 - and it was AWESOME !! Really quick and easy to make, and that's always a plus. I didn't have fresh cilantro, so used 1/2 tablespoon dried, which gave the dressing plenty of flavor without overpowering it. Thanks for posting - I'll definitely use this dressing again!

I started with really good, really fresh organic cilantro and key lime juice. This was fantastic on potato tacos! However, the olive oil was reduced to 1/3 cup and pumped up the lime juice which was a ratio more to my liking. Mmmmmmmm!! Reviewed for May-Cilantro highlight in the Spanish/Portuguese forum.

I used bottled lime juice so guessed at the amount and honey instead of sugar and loved it! I mixed it with some cauliflower I had and it was great. Thanks!

I liked the garlicky taste. Next time I will use juice of two limes. (I needed a little more citrus but didn't have another lime around, so I used 1/2 lemon in addition to my one lime, and that worked fine.) I also added a few red pepper flakes and a couple dashes of hot sauce. Nice simple recipe... great use of cilatntro!
