Cilantro Lime Dressing

Cilantro-Lime-Dressing-1.jpg

It's really difficult to find a decent [tasty] store bought salad dressing that isn't loaded with calories, fat, added sugar and other weird ingredients you can't pronounce. I often opt for making my own, and it usually takes just a few minutes, a couple ingredients, and a bowl/food processor. A little bit of effort and you can use the dressing/sauce all week. This creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing is great on salads, sandwiches and wraps, but it can also be used to dress up a grain salad [quinoa, farro, brown rice] or add some oomph to homemade tacos. The options are endless.  The cilantro lime flavor adds a little zing and summer flare to any meal using just a few ingredients.
