Jalapeño Cilantro Dressing

February 1, 2021 by Keirra Butts

Jump to Recipe

One of my go-to easy homemade dressings. Not too spicy, super light and goes great on salads, chicken, steak, fish, tacos and more!

Making you own salad dressing at home may sound intimidating but it’s super easy! It only takes about 10 minutes and comes out tasting even better than the store bought version.

Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight jar for up to five days.
