Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cilantro thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, garlic cloves, honey, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 3

Blend the ingredients until the cilantro is finely chopped and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Add the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water to the mixture.

Step 5

Continue blending until all ingredients are well combined and the dressing has reached the desired consistency. If it's too thick, more water can be added, one tablespoon at a time, until the preferred consistency is achieved.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle with a lid for storage.

Step 8

Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Shake well before each use. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
