Top tips to make this healthy salad dressing
- Use an immersion blender or food processor where it’s easy for you to pour in the olive oil to help the dressing magically emulsify and become super creamy.
- If you are not fans of cilantro, you can easily switch it up for basil because that works just as well. I’ve tried both ways and I can’t decide which one I like more.
- Use fresh ingredients like mango, cilantro, chillies or jalapeno and garlic because the ingredients are the star of this recipe
- Pour in the olive oil slowly so that the dressing emulsifies and changes from chunky to creamy
- The dressing stays good in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight jar, so you can easily make it ahead.
