This vinaigrette blends fresh lime juice, honey, and mayonnaise into a creamy emulsion with a bright citrus tang. It pairs well with taco salads, grilled chicken, or crisp romaine, and comes together in minutes with just a whisk or blender.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon water, as needed to thin

Method

  1. In a medium bowl or blender, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, and honey.

  2. Add the minced garlic, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Whisk or blend while slowly streaming in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

  4. Thin with water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the vinaigrette reaches a pourable consistency.

  5. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

  6. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
