Garlic Ginger Cilantro Dressing – Scrumptious Salad

March 26, 2012 By Jittery Cook 7 Comments

When is the last time that something good happened to you totally out of the blue? Serendipity. I found this dressing recipe on the flip-side of the Roasted Salsa one. Barbara Eiswerth mentioned that it was a fabulous dressing. It seemed like a good idea to share. Let’s hope Barbara agrees.

Healthy Salad Recipe

Garlic Ginger Cilantro Salad Dressing 

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 T seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 t finely chopped ginger
  • 2 t finely chopped garlic
  • 1/3 c cilantro, chopped
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Healthy Salad Recipe

Process the garlic and ginger in a magic bullet, or mince by hand. Add the cilantro, oil and vinegar, blending well.

All the salad ingredients below are optional. This mix tasted great, but feel free to improvise based on your tastes, what’s in season and what’s in your fridge. Let me know if you come up with interesting combos to show off this sharp, new and exciting dressing.

    If this tastes as good as it looks, it is a winner. I am always looking for new salad dressing recipes. I will try this on my kids this Friday.

    As always, keep on jittering.

      Hope you like it. It is different. The jicama added a juicy quality.
