CREAMY CILANTRO-LIME VINAIGRETTE

• servings: 2 Cups

Ingredients

1½ cups chopped fresh cilantro

½ cup vegenaise (Just Mayo is good, too)

Juice of 1 lime

Directions

For a creamy-smooth dressing, combine the cilantro, vegenaise, lime juice, and ¼ cup of water in a blender and puree until smooth. For a chunkier vinaigrette, combine everything in a medium bowl and whisk until emulsified (that’s the fancy word for thoroughly mixed so that the juice is suspended evenly throughout the fats). Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Vegan mayonnaise gives this creamy vinaigrette the body of ranch dressing with the acidity and brightness of a vinaigrette, so you really get the best of both worlds. We use it to dress our kale salad. It would also be great on a simple green salad, served as a sauce alongside seared salmon or grilled chicken, or drizzled on any of our bowls.
