My creamy cilantro lime dressing is so easy to make and is incredibly versatile. I love making a batch of dressing to keep in the fridge for quick slaws, topping taco bowls, for quick lunches, or to top a delicious piece of grilled meat for dinner. You’ll love how cool and creamy it is and perfectly mild.
