This cilantro vinaigrette has been a staple salad dressing for the past couple of years. I’ve shared it with a few recipes but I thought that it deserved a spotlight of its own. It’s also handy for me to refer back to a post with just this on it when I want to make it or include it in some other post. 😉
It was a sunny day so I took advantage of the light. I’ve been enjoying playing with the light and shadows in my photos lately. I hope you like the personality of the recent pics.

- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Directions:
- In a food processor (or really good blender), add all of the ingredients for the cilantro vinaigrette and blend until it’s smooth.

Can I use a different herb because my husband and I don’t like cilantro?
Yes, definitely! I have used parsley or basil and love both. 🙂
