Cilantro Dressing

About this Recipe

My friend Karen gave me a recipe she called Southwest Caesar Salad. This is my riff on that. I made it more cilantro-centric. It's my absolute favorite salad dressing, but I also love it as a marinade, and it's always a hit as a vegetable dip.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice

  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 2 cups mayonnaise

  • 2 cups olive oil

  • 1/2 medium onion

  • 1 bunch cilantro

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add everything to the blender and let it do all the work

Notes

  • This recipe started as a salad dressing, but we also use it as a marinade and as the base for vegetable dips. For a dip, mix it with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, or sour cream until you reach the flavor and consistency you like.

  • It keeps in the refrigerator for long periods

  • You can use a white onion or the equivalent in green onions
