Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

I actually use this dressing as a marinade for chicken breast. I slice the chicken breast thin, marinate it, and then grill it. Then I serve the grilled chicken over lettuce and use the dressing over all (though be sure not to use the same dressing you marinated the chicken in!).

1/4 c. fresh lime juice (about 2-3 juicy limes)
1/4 c. white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
4-5 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp. Kosher or sea salt
2 tsp. sugar
1 c. canola oil
1/2 c. roughly chopped cilantro, stems removed


In the jar of your blender, combine lime juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, and sugar. Blend until ingredients are completely combined. With the blender running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add cilantro and blend until the cilantro has broken down but still maintains some of its texture. Serve with greens, on any type of Mexican salad, or use as a marinade.
