Description

Inspired by the delicious dressing on the grilled chicken salad at TGI Fridays, I created my own version. Drizzle it on anything that needs more flavor.

Ingredients

1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1 Pulse jalapeño, garlic, and ginger in a food processor until finely chopped. Add honey, lime juice, cilantro, vinegar, and salt. Pulse 3 to 4 times to blend.
2 Slowly pour oil into the processor with the motor running until dressing is smooth. Taste and season with salt if needed before serving.
