My requirements for a new dressing in my life is that it doesn’t take more than a hot minute to make it and tastes so good that I actually WANT to eat salad every minute of every day. This does both! with just a handful of very regular ingredients:
cilantrogarlicvinegarolive oilsalt
Also, a pinch of red pepper flakes and a splash of water. But for the most part, this is a five-ingredient, straight-out-the-blender, beautiful green miracle. See what I mean? Okay, here’s what I’ve put this on so far.

It is such a stupidly easy recipe, but I didn’t want it to get lost. I felt it needed its own post. It’s not fancy. It will take you two seconds. But it will elevate your summer eating game to places you definitely want to be. This recipe is straightly inspired by the cilantro vinaigrette in the What’s Gaby Cookin’ cookbook. I have a weird aversion to raw onions and their relatives right now, which is why I just made it without the shallot that her original recipe calls for. But all credit to Queen G for this one! She has a basil vinaigrette, too. Worth looking up? YES.
