Cilantro-Lime Dressing
Cilantro is a fresh green herb that looks a lot like parsley. You can tell the difference quickly if you smell them—parsley has a fairly neutral scent, while cilantro is quite distinctive. If you prefer, swap the cilantro for parsley or even fresh basil.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¾ cup canned coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon tahini or ¼ cup plain nondairy yogurt
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt
Instructions
- In a small blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, coconut milk, tahini, lime juice, and sugar, and season to taste with salt. Blend for about 1 minute until smooth. Taste, and add more salt as needed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
PRO TIP: Add some minced jalapeño pepper for a spicy boost—up to one whole pepper, depending on your preferred spice level. Remove the seeds if you like; they’re very spicy.
