Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing

It is officially Spring, at least according to my calender. The hail and ice that fell over the past 2 days makes it feel more like Winter! Spring means something different to everyone.  To me, it means Green {and allergies, and thunderstorms, tornadoes}. The green grass, deciduous trees, and leafy herbs start popping up all over. What do you do with all of those leafy herbs? You use them silly…..

You grab a bunch of fresh cilantro and turn it into this delicious, and versatile Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing and Dipping Sauce. This is the same dressing that I have used in the past on my Southwest Chicken Salad for Summer…..

{yes, I forgot the mayo in that batch, and it was still delicious} and as a dipping sauce for Wild Alaskan Crab Legs…..

and it couldn’t be easier to make!

How to make Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing:

Place the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar and honey in the bowl of a food processor…..

and pulse to combine…..

See how simple that was? Tangy, bright and fresh flavors that remind me of Spring…..even when it looks like this outside…..

Now that is something that you do not see everyday…..thankfully!!
