Whole30 Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
A Whole30 version of the popular Nordstrom Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (I used 365 Organic Lime Juice, not from concentrate)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsp chipotle puree (I used Olo’s Chipotle Paste! )
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup extra light tasting olive oil
- 1 small or 1/2 large pitted Medjool date, chopped into very small pieces for easy blending. My favorite are Natural Delights Medjool Dates, pitted!
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a jar.
- Using a hand held immersion blender, blend the ingredients until they are fully integrated. (You can also use a blender or food processor. I just love my immersion blender and think it’s the easiest method!)
- Chill at least an hour before serving.
- Enjoy on all your favorite salads! This dressing pairs wonderfully with shrimp and avocado as well!
Notes
If you can’t find chipotle purée, make it easily by pureeing jarred or canned chipotle peppers in a food processor or blender first, then using it in the dressing.
I used a date to add a touch of sweetness to (counter the tanginess of the lime) to this recipe but if you’re not doing a Whole30 you can try 1-2 tbsp honey. This is what’s listed in the original recipe!
