Description

This cilantro vinaigrette is EVERYTHING. The flavor is amazing and it only takes 5 ingredients! This recipe is completely inspired by the cilantro vinaigrette in the beautiful What’s Gaby Cookin cookbook!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 huge bunch of fresh cilantro (2 cups packed)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, if needed

Instructions

  1. Blend everything up for about a minute until smooth. Add the water if you need more volume in the blender to make it run smoothly. Season to taste!
  2. PUT ON EVERYTHING! I actually do mean everything. So delicious.

Notes

You can see Gaby’s original recipe here on her blog, or of course, in her book! I made a few small changes: omitted the shallot (to reduce sensitivity to raw onion / onion relatives), changed red wine vinegar to white vinegar (because I love the sharp tang), and added a little water (sometimes my blender needs a little added volume to help it all run smoothly).

Keep this in a jar in the fridge for 3-4 days! TREAT CITY!
