Cilantro Vinaigrette

Jump to Recipe

After my love affair with basil vinaigrette last spring, I thought it was only fitting that cilantro vinaigrette be the "it" sauce of this season!

Cilantro Vinaigrette from www.whatsgabycooking.com is the perfect go-to sauce for anything! Use it as a salad dressing or a sauce! (@whatsgabycooking)


 

In my quest to make life easier for everyone, including myself, here's another kitchen shortcut that will save you a hot second or two in the kitchen! Cilantro Vinaigrette can be whipped up in less than 4 minutes and you can use it on just about everything! It makes for the most delicious salad dressing, you can spoon it over roasted chicken, salmon or steak, you can toss it with a bowl of quinoa, pasta or farro, or you could eat it with a spoon straight out of the fridge. No judgement here. And if you happen to have a green thumb (unlike myself) it's the perfect way to use up all that cilantro while it goes bonkers before going to seed!
