Ingredients
- 1 cup, packed Fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 large, minced Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the fresh cilantro. Measure out 1 packed cup and add it to a blender or food processor.
Step 2
Add fresh lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, white vinegar, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water to the blender with the cilantro.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed during blending to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice for tanginess, a pinch of salt for flavor, or a small amount of honey if you'd like it sweeter.
Step 5
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time and blend until your desired consistency is achieved.
Step 6
Transfer the vinaigrette to a small jar or container with a lid. Shake well before serving.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake thoroughly before each use as separation may occur.
