Notes
- Use quality olive oil as part of the taste comes from it.
- While store-bought bottles can be quite convenient, they lack in flavor compared to the real thing. It really isn’t that much extra work to freshly squeeze the lime and you’ll notice a difference in flavor.
- Puree just until the cilantro starts to break up and the vinaigrette emulsifies. You wants bits of cilantro throughout it.
- For a spicy version, add finely chopped jalapeño, including seeds for more heat, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- If the cilantro vinaigrette is too thick, just add water 1 tbsp at a time.
