This vinaigrette balances tart lime juice with honey and a touch of garlic for a bright, versatile dressing. It works well over leafy greens, grilled vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken or shrimp. Whisking the oil in slowly creates a lightly emulsified texture that clings nicely to salad leaves.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Method

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine the lime juice, lime zest, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Whisk the mixture vigorously, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk until the dressing is lightly emulsified.

  3. Stir in the chopped cilantro.

  4. If using a jar, add all ingredients and secure the lid, then shake vigorously for 30 seconds until combined.

  5. Taste and adjust salt, honey, or lime juice as needed, then store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
