Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette

I went to the store today to pick up a few things, and while I was there I decided I wanted to make a dressing instead of buying one. My thought was on the spicy yogurt dressing I got on my Med Salad from Noodles last week. So I picked up a lime and lemon, a poblano pepper, some cilantro and some Greek yogurt. I figured I wouldn't need all these ingredients, but I'd find something to make out of it. While I was putting away my groceries, I found a bunch of cilantro in there already, so after slapping myself in the head, I went in search of cilantro-based dressings. What I found on Epicurious isn't what I started out searching for, but it looked so good, so I tried it. Until I realized halfway through that I should have gotten olive oil instead of extra cilantro. So, back to the store as soon as my son wakes up. But for now, the recipe as I found it. It's good with only half of the oil, I'm sure it will be fabulous when I add the rest!

Here is the recipe on Epicurious: Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced (I used my zester)
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp ground coriander
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (I just realized I added two. Probably because I have twice as much in my refrigerator as I need).

Mix ingredients together with a fork. Serve. Yum!
