REAL Food Recipe - Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing

 


Recently I had purchased a bottle of cilantro lime salad dressing at Trader Joes.  It was pretty tasty, I will admit.  The ingredients were too bad, however not as clean as I would’ve like so I decided to make my own version of this dressing and see if I could replicate it.  As it turned out I think I actually like my version better. 

Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing 

¼ cup lime juice

¼ cup avocado or olive oil

1 handful cilantro, leaves & stems

½ cup sour cream

1 Tbs. honey

Garlic powder, to taste 

Put all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth.  Taste and adjust any seasonings to your liking.  Store in an airtight container with lid in the refrigerator.

 


I only used a dash of the garlic powder and the rest of the ingredients as listed.  It was delicious over a bed of greens with grape tomatoes, avocado slices, sunflower seeds and some sliced rotisserie chicken breast over the top.  A perfect summer dinner salad!

  1. Yum - I used to do a similar version of this that included ranch dressing powder (and you can make your own). I put jalapenos in it to mimic the one served at Chuy's restaurant. I think I need to whip up a batch of this for the week!
