Cilantro Dressing for Salads

Description: This dressing is great on a fresh veggie salad, chicken salad, crisp green salad, taco salads or any tossed salad. Especially good on a salad that is accompanying a Mexican entree.

Ingredients:

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cilantro, packed
• 1 cup parsley, packed
• 1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar (you can substitute either red wine or cider vinegar)
• 3/4 cup olive oil (I use lite)
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1 pinch sugar

Steps:

1. Using your steel knife in the food processor mix garlic and salt; process until it is a paste.
2. Add cilantro and parsley; process to a fine mince.
3. Add vinegar; process for 10 seconds.
4. Add oil in a slow steady stream with the processor on.
5. Add hot pepper sauce (to match your taste) and a pinch of sugar.
6. Chill the dressing for several hours in a glass jar; shake to combine before using.
