Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
The sweet and vibrant flavor of this Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette homemade salad dressing will bring life and flavor to any salad.
As much as I love cooking from scratch, I still feel a little out of my element when it comes to salad dressings. I know they are easy. I know they are simple. I know they can be hard to mess up. I know. I know. I know. But I still just don’t feel like I’m operating in my strengths when I’m tinkering in the salad dressing department.
That being said, when I DO find a good recipe that I like, I am now making a strong effort to keep track of it.
This is the story of this Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette that I adapted from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe.
Hello beautiful.
This dressing is a tangy-sweet combo with a cilantro twist. It goes great on a Mexican inspired salad. I personally like it with chicken, corn, tomatoes, and avocado. Choose your own salad adventure though.
And like most salad dressings, it was super easy to put together. Just combine the ingredients and give them a good shake.

Yes, it does!
Yum that sounds really good! I don’t make my own salad dressings very often either, but I’d like to give this one a try.
