Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish or blending)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the fresh lime juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk vigorously or shake the jar until all the ingredients are well combined and the dressing is emulsified.
Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing to your desired consistency, and whisk or shake again to incorporate.
Step 4
If using fresh cilantro, finely chop it and mix it into the dressing, or blend it with the rest of the ingredients for a smoother, herb-infused dressing.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Add a bit more lime juice for extra tang or a pinch more salt for enhanced flavor.
Step 6
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use, as separation may occur.
