Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Mayonaisse
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice from one lime
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 handful cilantro about 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a blender or food processor, add the fresh cilantro leaves, lime juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Blend the ingredients on medium speed until smooth and well combined. If needed, scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust the flavors as desired. Add more lime juice for tanginess, or salt and pepper for seasoning.
  • Once you're satisfied with the taste, transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This resting time will enhance the taste and consistency of the dressing.
  • Before using, give the dressing a good shake to mix any separation that may have occurred during refrigeration.
  • Serve the Cilantro Lime Dressing over your favorite salads, grilled vegetables, tacos, or use it as a versatile dipping sauce.
