This Cilantro Lime Dressing is the kind of do-it-all magic sauce you need in your life. Use it as a dressing, sauce, dip – you name it!

Let’s get to it!

How to Make this Cilantro Lime Dressing

There’s really not much to this – simply throw all of the ingredients to a blender or small food processor and blitz until you end up with a thick, creamy mixture.

A couple things to keep in mind when making this Cilantro Sauce:

• You can use both the cilantro leaves and stems to make this. Cilantro stems are soft enough that they usually blend up easily. If you have loads a thick, long stems tear some of them away but you can save yourself that extra step if you’d like.
• Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin out the dressing if needed.

QUICK QUESTIONS:

How do I serve it?
You can use this as a sauce or dressing. Serve over grilled meats, shrimp, fajitas, tacos or drizzle atop salads. It also makes for a great veggie dip!

How long does it keep?
Keeps for about a week in the fridge in an airtight container, after this point it will start to lose flavour.

Can I freeze it?
Yes! Since this is a dairy free sauce it lends itself well to freezing/thawing. It keeps about a month in the freezer. Once thawed use within a few days
