Cilantro Lime Dressing With A Sweet Kick

I love Mexican and dinner tonight is pulled chicken tacos. To make them a bit more interesting, I created a tangy multi-purpose dressing sauce. It was so easy and it so super tasty I want to eat it with a spoon. But I won't for fear of judgement from my Martha.


What You'll Need:
  • Food processor or blender
  • 1 healthy, fresh bunch of cilantro
  • 2 Tbps of honey (always nice to use local honey - support your local producers!)
  • 2 Tbps extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice from one fresh lime
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 Tsp of your favourite chili sauce
  • 2 Tbps fat free Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbps of tahini (this is optional, but it adds a nice, nutty depth to the flavour)
  • Salt and twists of fresh black pepper to taste

What You'll Do
  • Take the bottom of the stems off your cilantro, add to your processor
  • Add in all the other ingredients
  • Blend until combined
That's it! Super easy.

You can also use this dressing as a dip for a veggie tray, or try it on grilled white fish. I think the tangy kick of this cilantro lime dressing with go with so many things!

The STEWART SCORE:
Appearance: 1 (its green...nothing special)
Taste: 2
Ease: 2
