Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 0.5 whole jalapeño
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water and pat dry with a towel. Roughly chop to make it easier to blend.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and slice the jalapeño in half. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic cloves, diced jalapeño, Dijon mustard, sea salt, black pepper, and water.

Step 4

Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 6

Pour the dressing into a glass jar or container and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use.
