Equipment

Mini Food Processor or Food Processor or High Speed Blender
Kitchen Knife
Measuring Spoons
Glass Jar with Lid

Ingredients

⅔ cup neutral oil like grapeseed or avocado oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 jalapeños or 1 large jalapeño
2 tablespoons cilantro roughly chopped
1 clove garlic peeled
kosher salt to taste

Instructions

If you are sensitive to spice, deseed and devein the jalapeños by slicing them in half lengthwise and using a spoon to scrape out the interior.
If you are looking for a spicy vinaigrette, try to just remove the seeds of the jalapeño while leaving the white membrane intact.
Chop into a few pieces and add to the food processor with all remaining ingredients.
Blend until smooth. Taste for seasoning, adjust if needed, and serve.

Notes

General

Try swapping the cilantro for another fresh herb, like basil, mint, or parsley.
This dressing is great over salads, roasted vegetables, meats, fish, potatoes, grain bowls, tacos, and more.

Storage

Fridge Store jalapeño lime vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. I like using a small jar with a lid.
Freezer I do not recommend freezing this vinaigrette.
Stir or shake well before using.
