5-Ingredient Cilantro Lime Dressing (For Salads & Meats)
Every home cook needs one "secret sauce" that makes everything taste better, and this cilantro lime dressing is mine! I love it because it’s so much more than just a salad dressing—I’ll drizzle it over grilled chicken or even use it as a dip for roasted sweet potatoes. The best part? If you're craving something a bit more indulgent, you can just toss in a scoop of Greek yogurt or avocado to make it creamy. It’s the ultimate kitchen staple!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups packed fresh cilantro
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice, about 2 limes
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Remove the cilantro stems. You don't have to go crazy removing every single stem, the small ones are fine. Just discard the thicker, tough stems towards the bottom of the cilantro.
- Add ingredients to blender. To the bowl of a blender or a food processor, add 2 cups packed cilantro leaves, 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 clove thinly sliced garlic, ½ tsp Kosher salt, and ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil.
- Blend well. Turn the blender or food processor on, then blend until very smooth. Serve right away or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until needed.
Notes
- Make it creamy: Add ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream, or 1 ripe avocado (peeled).
- Citrus swap: Fresh lemon or orange juice can be used in place of lime.
