Ancho Cilantro Vinaigrette
  • Makes about a cup
Author Notes

We used to travel west every year and somewhere from Texas to California I tasted a tangy vinaigrette and came home to design my own version.

I have used other dried peppers when I’m out of the dried anchos but pay attention to the heat level.

We enjoyed some of the dressing served with a salad of Bibb lettuce, arugula, corn grill roasted and removed from the cob, red and green chopped onions and a few yellow and red grape tomatoes. —ibbeachnana

That's the way that I make the dressing, my suggestion is to make it as ist and make adjustments. I always taste a dressing with a bit of salad greens. Sorry I didn't see this sooner

nana, i'm new to 52 and am going through looking for recipes for cilantro dressing. just curious- yours looks really excellent.but most vinaigrettes have an oil to acid ratio of about 3 to 1, but yours is 1 to 2. Is that a typo? thnx much for this!
