THAI SALAD WITH CILANTRO LIME DRESSING
I created this salad to replicate one I tried on a cruise several years ago. It goes over very well at family gatherings and potlucks year-round. We love the spice of the Thai chile, but if your family isn't into spice, feel free to leave it out. It will still be delicious! —Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

SASHIMI TUNA SALAD WITH MINT LIME CILANTRO DRESSING
The closest I've been able to come in recreating one of my favorites! The salad will be fairly greasy, but that is how it is in the restaurant version as well. It just doesn't taste nearly as good with only little dressing. I usually use about 3/4 of the dressing, but you may use less or more. Enjoy!

Steps:
- I am notorious for not measuring, because I adapted this recipe from a more fattening version called "El Toritos Cilantro and Pepita Salad Dressing". I recommend that you adjust seasonings to your liking. In a food processor, add all the ingredients, except for the olive oil. Process until the ingredients are emulsified and then slowly drizzle the olive oil until the dressing appears rich and creamy. You can substitute non-fat Greek Yogurt, instead of mayonnaise for a leaner version.
