Creamy cilantro lime dressing made with fresh ingredients, a touch of honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness and a kick of spice from jalapeño. This easy vegan cilantro lime dressing recipe makes the perfect salad dressing recipe or marinade for chicken and fish!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 bunch cilantro (about ¾ cup fresh chopped cilantro)
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or honey, or pure maple syrup)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 jalapeno seeded
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor: cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño half, and salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Notes
- Optional to add ¼ cup greek yogurt or ½ avocado for a creamy version. Feel free to add 1-3 tablespoons water to thin out dressing to your liking if you use this option.
- Use as a marinade or as a dressing, etc.
- To store: keep this homemade cilantro lime dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If you choose to add yogurt or avocado, I’d recommend using up the dressing in about 3-4 days instead so that it stays fresh.
