That gorgeous green! Can you handle it? Okay, we’re big homemade salad dressing people over here. I definitely dabble in bottled dressings for convenience, but can we agree that nothing compares to freshly made, herby salad dressing? The proof’s in my 5-Minute Mediterranean Salad Dressing, Healthy Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing, and Creamy Balsamic. Fragrant cilantro, punchy lime juice, fruity olive oil, and my secret ingredient…hemp seeds. So creamy, so packed with healthy fats. The greens n’ grains are simply screaming for it!

Ingredients

Cilantro: Fresh, herbaceous cilantro makes the most beautiful green dressing! Extra virgin olive oil: love the silky smooth fruitiness this adds to our dressing. Lime juice: We’re squeezing the juice of a fresh lime for bright, limey flavor. Maple syrup: This natural sweetener perfectly balances the zesty lime juice. Honey would also be great. Hemp seeds: My secret ingredient for extra creaminess! These also add a boost of healthy fats. Salt: Key for flavors that pop.

How to make

Serving ideas

I love this on a big leafy green or grain salad (or pasta!) with pepitas, corn and queso fresco. Add mango to make it a really big deal! Drizzle it on eggs and avocado toast. Seriously! Elevate grilled chicken or salmon. You could even use this as a marinade. Fancy.

Storage

Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 week.
