It’s been too long since I shared a tasty salad dressing and this one is the mother load of all dressings. It’s actually a life changer. No lie. It’s that good and I’m super excited to share it with you guys! This salad dressing will totally change the way you look at a bowl of greens. This homemade bright green dressing comes together in about 5 minutes and you can pour it on about anything.
Fresh and citrusy with a little garlic kick. All made in a food processor with fresh cilantro leaves, garlic, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, lemon juice, oil and vinegar. Pour it over your chopped greens, toss it with pasta, quinoa, spoon it over chicken, fish or shrimp. You can also mix it into chicken or tuna salad. Or if you run out of ideas, eat it with a spoon (that good!).
