Notes
- To make the dressing smooth use an immersion blender or high powdered blender instead of a food processor.
- If you're using a food processor, keep in mind the order counts. Process the garlic first, followed by the other ingredients, and finish with the oil and vinegar.
- It's perfectly fine to use the fresh cilantro leaves and stems, but trim off any excess stems if needed.
- Adjust the spices to your preference. Add in some garlic powder, hot sauce, or jalapeño pepper.
