Cilantro-Lime Salad Dressing

I know this sounds boring, but seriously - salad dressing. Amazing salad dressing. Normally, salads just add a nice freshness and crunch to a meal, and I walk away thinking...meh. But when I made this salad dressing to accompany enchiladas, my friend and I were blown away. You know a dressing is good when you say, "those enchiladas were good, but I really just want a huge bowl of that salad."


Cilantro-Lime Salad Dressing from Damn Delicious.
  • 1 cup loosely packed cilantro, stems removed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Combine cilantro, Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add olive oil and vinegar in a slow stream until emulsified.

I didn't follow the recipe when it came to the actual salad. I tossed it with butter lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and topped it with roasted/salted pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds). If you added some shrimp or chicken, you'd have a tasty main-course salad.
