Lime-Cilantro Vinaigrette image

This is a delicious, tangy vinaigrette. It's so versatile, it can be used for mixed greens or taco salads. Enjoy! Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. I prefer white wine vinegar in this recipe, as opposed to regular white vinegar. You can also use Dijon mustard if you prefer to spicy brown.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful vinaigrette, use a combination of olive oil and lime juice. You can also add a splash of white wine vinegar or rice vinegar for a bit of acidity.
  • If you're using the cilantro lime vinaigrette as a marinade, be sure to let the meat or fish soak in it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate and tenderize the meat.
  • When grilling, baste the meat or fish with the cilantro lime vinaigrette regularly to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Cilantro lime vinaigrette can also be used as a dipping sauce for grilled shrimp, chicken, or fish.
  • For a vegetarian option, try using the cilantro lime vinaigrette to dress a salad or grilled vegetables.

Cilantro lime vinaigrette is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled meats, fish, and vegetables, and it can also be used as a dipping sauce or salad dressing. With its bright and citrusy flavor, cilantro lime vinaigrette is sure to add a touch of freshness and zest to your next meal.
