Bring Home the Flavor of Verde Taqueria: Our Famous Cilantro Citrus Vinaigrette!

For years, our Cilantro Citrus Vinaigrette has been a secret weapon in the Verde Taqueria kitchen, gracing everything from our vibrant salads to our sizzling tacos. We hear it all the time: "What's in that dressing?!" and "Can I buy a bottle of this?"

Well, Verde Taqueria fans, today is your lucky day! We're thrilled to share the recipe for this customer favorite, scaled down so you can easily whip up a batch in your own kitchen. It's bright, it's zesty, and it's the perfect way to add a burst of fresh flavor to any meal.

Cilantro Citrus Vinaigrette (Yields 2 cups)

This recipe is designed to be made fresh, ensuring the most vibrant flavor and color.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1 ¼ cups fresh squeezed lime juice
• 2 cups basil leaves
• 2 cups cilantro leaves
• 2 tsp. sea salt
• ½ Tbsp. fresh ground pepper
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 1 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Gather your ingredients: Make sure all your fresh ingredients are prepped and ready to go.
2. Blend it up: Place all ingredients into a food processor.
3. Quick blend: Process for no more than 45 seconds. This is crucial! Over-blending will cause the beautiful green herbs to turn brown. You want a bright, emulsified vinaigrette.

How to Enjoy Your Vinaigrette:

This versatile vinaigrette isn't just for salads! Try it as a:

• Marinade for chicken or fish.
• Drizzle over roasted vegetables.
• Dip for fresh-cut veggies.
• Try it as a dressing for slaw.
