Tasty Tuesday: Cilantro Lime Dressing.

We were originally only going to use this dressing on our chickpea salad, but then Cameron had the bright idea to grill some shrimp and use the dressing also as a marinade. The results? Amalzing! I loved the hint of sweetness that the honey added.

recipe source

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped

 

1 clove garlic, chopped

 

3/4 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

 

1/4 cup lime juice

 

1/3 cup honey

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

 

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

 

1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves

 

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

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.
