Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing Recipe
I first made this simple Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing for Cinco de Mayo a couple years ago after trying something similar at a restaurant that Superhubby and I like for date nights. The Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing is refreshing with a hint of spiciness and sweetness. Often when I buy cilantro at the grocery store, I end up with way too much and this dressing is the perfect way to use up leftover cilantro and make a fabulous salad! Now that I planted cilantro in our garden, I won’t have to worry about using leftover bunches and can make this Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing anytime!
Yumminess Rating: 5 of 5 stars
RA ease of prep: 3 of 5 stars (only because I have a horrible, non RA friendly mini food processor that is impossible to use. There is a lot of chopping of garlic, ginger and removing leaves from cilantro, but this one is worth the time and effort!). In related news, anyone have a good mini food processor to recommend?

Do you like cilantro? What dishes do you use it for? Do you make your own salad dressing? Leave me a link or a recipe for your favorite homemade salad dressing. I always love trying new recipes! Happy cooking!
That looks so good! I am featuring this and all the other link-ups were the top clicked posts for April tomorrow on Creative K Kids. Thanks for linking up with the Tasty Tuesday’s Link-up. I have pinned your post to the Tasty’s Tuesday’s Pinterest Board!
Thanks so much! There are some great recipes featured. I am glad you found some co-hosts to be able to keep the linky going. I love Tasty Tuesdays!
I don’t think your plugin is working; I can’t see the recipe.
But that sounds so good. I’ve recently started liking cilantro too.
Sorry about that! I fixed it, hopefully 🙂 Thanks for letting me know Laurel and I hope you try it out and tell me how you like it. Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe! We do love cilantro!

Thanks for hosting Tamara, such a great party!
Tanya,
I’m not a big fan of cilantro, but I LOVE making dressings with lime 🙂

Hi Ang, I think cilantro must be an acquired taste. As a kid, my mom used it a lot in Indian cooking. I didn’t care for it and thought it had an overpowering taste. Now that I love to cook both Hispanic and Indian foods, I love cilantro and lime. Do you have some homemade dressing recipes to share with me? I haven’t tried too many.
I grew Cilantro for the first time this spring! Pinning this recipe to my Good Eats board so I can make it later. Thanks for sharing. Stopping by from Ultimate Linky.
Thanks Shirley, I am attempting to grow cilantro for the second time. Last year the thai basil took over the cilantro pot. This year’s bunch is doing great. I made the dressing and a batch of mojo sauce to eat with fried green plantains. Yum! Good luck with your garden. What else do you have planted?
This sounds really refreshing! Thanks for sharing on #throwbackthursdaylinkup
Thanks Heather.
This looks delish!! WIll have to try it with my next salad. Thanks for linking up to “Stumble Into the Weekend”, Mandy
Wow! Very talented! Looks so yummy. I think I will make, but cheat with the dressing. Great, fresh combination of ingredients. Thanks for sharing! #ThrowbackThursdaylinkup
Looks good! Not sure I would go out and make it though.
Thank you for linking up to #throwbackthursdaylinkup
This dressing sounds really good, thanks for sharing your recipe.
I haven’t grown cilantro in a while, since I have trouble with it going to seed so quickly. Maybe I’ll have to try it again this year since we do use it often.
I have to cheat and buy a small plant to start our garden. Last year I transplanted seed and my plants didn’t thrive. The plant I bought already has 1 bunch worth so hopefully when I cut it, it will grow more 🙂
This sounds really good, love the fresh ingredients. Will def try this!
That’s awesome, I’m in the process of growing cilantro as we speak. I’ll bookmark this! You rock!
Thanks Misty! It is really good and going to make a batch tonight.
