Try this refreshing and easy Cumin Lime Dressing and add it to your favorite salads. It also makes a great marinade for chicken and seafood or drizzled over grilled vegetables.
Homemade salad dressings are fast and easy. Once you start you won't be able to stop! The best part about making your own is you can adjust the seasonings, acidity, and sweetness levels to your own liking.
Ingredients
Only 6 ingredients are needed to whip this up!
- Avocado oil - It has a neutral flavor and light taste. Substitute with any healthy oil that works for you such as olive or grapeseed oil.
- Rice vinegar - Like avocado oil, it's light in flavor and not overly acidic. You could use 100% lime juice but I like a hit of sharpness the vinegar brings. You could substitute with white wine vinegar or white distilled vinegar but start with less and taste before adding more.
- Ground cumin
- Fresh lime juice
- Sugar - I use organic cane sugar but you could also use honey or maple syrup keeping in mind that will change the flavor slightly.
- Salt and pepper
Try this dressing on your favorite salads, like this Cumin and Lime Coleslaw, as a sauce drizzled on tacos or in a burrito bowl. It also makes a great marinade for chicken, fish and seafood or as a sauce for grilled vegetables.
