Hey if you are going to make a salad then you have to have a dressing. So why not this creamy and delicious Cilantro Lime Dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously when I make up a batch of this I drizzle it on everything. You don't have to stick to just salad. Drizzle it on grilled chicken, fish, vegetables, even these yummy Sweetcorn Fritters<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Gone are those days of boring salads that are just screaming \"dress me PLEASE!!\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don't know about you but I love mayonnaise, it's that creaminess that does it for me, I know many that hate it and I often look at them like they said the worst thing in the world when they tell me they do not like it. I mean how can you not LOVE mayonnaise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However mayo can be pretty high in fat, unless of course you are using that really low fat stuff, but the taste just doesn't cut it for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do you do when you want a creamy dressing, but don't want the fat? Make this Cilantro Lime Dressing, that's what.  This is my go to dressing, along with my ranch dressing<\/a>. <\/span><\/strong>I make one of these weekly and keep in a jar in the fridge, they will keep for a couple of days, you just have to give it a little bit of shake in the jar each time before use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend using Greek yoghurt, otherwise it will be too runny and make sure you use fresh cilantro (coriander) - dried stuff will give you a horrid brown colour once you blend, and you won't want to pour that on anything, trust me. The fresh cilantro gives it that lovely vibrant and fresh green look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sweeten and take that little bit of tang away from the yoghurt I use a little sukrin: 1 <\/a><\/strong><\/span>(sukrin is a natural sweetener that has no aftertaste), it is my favourite sweetener to use, but you can use any of choice if you don't have any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not make up a jar of this Cilantro Lime Dressing and get drizzling.<\/p>\n\n\n
