Notes

    • I made this dressing in my Blendtec blender, which makes it creamy and smooth, but you can use any blender or food processor you have. Or just whisk by hand in a large bowl!
    • Fresh cilantro gives this dressing a fresh, herb flavor that I love! If you're not a fan of cilantro feel free to omit this ingredient. On the flip side, you can add up to a quarter cup of diced cilantro for more of that unique flavor.
    • Make the dressing thinner with a tablespoon of milk at a time until it's the desired consistency.
    • For a spicier dressing, add a dash or two of extra sriracha.
    • This dressing would also be delicious with chopped green onions.
