Cilantro-Lime Ranch Dressing is a deliciously tangy ranch dressing that is perfect on your fresh, crispy green salad.

Cilantro Lime Ranch Dressing from Cosmopolitan Cornbread

This time of year when things begin to warm up, I find myself craving salads and grilled things. On this particular day, I filleted some chicken breasts, brushed them with some olive oil, rubbed on some of my Cajun seasoning, and grilled them up. Sliced and served on a bed of lettuce; this was supper. Mmmm…

To begin, you’ll need your blender handy. You’ll give 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro and about 4 stalks of fresh chives a rough chop beforehand just so they blend up well.

In your blender, you’ll add 3/4 cup each of mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt.

Now, peel and coarsely chop 2 cloves of garlic and toss those in. Grab a lime and grate off about 2 teaspoons of the zest. Squeeze 3 tablespoons of lime juice into the blender.

Toss in the greens, garlic, and zest along with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup of milk, and a half teaspoon each of salt & pepper.

Blend it all together until it is smooth.

That’s it!

  3. What a great fresh salad dressing. ….btw….did you know your blender blade base probably will fit a regular mouth mason jar? I put ingredients in the mason jar, attach blade and mix to combine. Remove blade and seal with the lid to store in refrigerator.
