As a busy housewife, I'm always looking for ways to make my family's favorite meals at home. When I tried the Cilantro-Lime salad dressing at TGI Friday's, I knew I had to recreate it. After a few attempts, I finally perfected the recipe and I'm so excited to share it with you!
This dressing is the perfect addition to any summer salad. It's light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I love it on grilled chicken salads, but it would also be delicious on fish, shrimp, or even tofu. It's also great as a marinade for chicken or fish before grilling.
The best part about this dressing is that it's so easy to make. Just throw all of the ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. You can adjust the proportions of the ingredients to your liking, depending on how tart or spicy you want the dressing to be.
Give this Cilantro-Lime dressing a try and let me know what you think! I'm confident you'll love it as much as my family does.
Step-by-step
- Place the jalapeno pepper, garlic clove, and ginger into a food processor or blender; pulse until the jalapeno and garlic are finely chopped.
- Pour in the lime juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, and salt, add the cilantro leaves; pulse a few times to blend.
- Turn the food processor or blender on, and slowly drizzle in the olive oil until incorporated into the dressing.
- Season to taste with salt before serving.
