Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small bunch fresh cilantro stems removed (about 1-2 cups. lightly packed)
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • Zest and juice from 1 lime
  • ½ jalapeno seeds and ribs removed to reduce heat (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons white wine or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Process for a minute or two until combined and you reach your desired consistency.
  • Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • If storing, be sure to use a plastic lid or place a piece of wax or parchment paper between the metal lid and the jar to stop the vinegar from corroding the metal lid. The vinaigrette will separate after a few days in the fridge, so allow the vinaigrette to sit out at room temperature for a bit until you can whisk it or shake it again to reincorporate everything.
