I love cilantro so much, I really need to make this! I just realized, I’m coming through Vernon on Aug 10. Will you still be there, or am I too late? haha. I feel like we’re never out there at the same time!
Oh man I put cilantro on everything! And darn I leave on the 5th. But ill be back again around the 19th for a couple weeks depending on how long you’re going to be there??
Just overnight. I have to get to Vancouver for SeaWheeze & then I drive down to SF from there.
Has anyone tried this with another oil? It sounds amazing but I have an avocado allergy 🙁 🙁 and have no idea what oil might be the best substitute.
Hey Lisa! I would try olive oil. Or anything with a mild flavour. Hope that helps!
How long does the dressing stay good for?
Hey Amber
I kept mine for a week before it ran out so you are safe for that long for sure. I haven’t tried keeping it longer though. It will partly depend on how fresh your ingredients are when you make it so use your own judgement there.
This was so delicious!! I added some fresh ginger before blending also. Thank you for the recipe!
OH I am so glad you liked it! And love the idea off adding ginger! Thanks for sharing
Since I eat a lot of salads, I’m always on the lookout for a new dressing and this became my go-to salad dressing. Yummy thank you Dr. Erin!
HI, this looks like a wonderful dressing. My quetion is what is a serving size? A table spoon? Thank You in adadance! 🙂
It really depends on what you are using it for. For example a small side salad would require much less dressing than a large salad you are eating for a meal. I wouldn’t say there is a standard serving size.
Cilantro is the best!
This is so simple and good! I will make this over and over.
I am so happy you like it!!!!
