Creamy Cilantro Dressing

A delicious Creamy Cilantro Dressing that can also be used as a salad dressing, and is fantastic served with your favorite Mexican dish.

I made this Creamy Cilantro Dressing to accompany the Carne Asado Flank Steak I made recently but I've found so many reasons to use it for a lot more than a drizzle on that steak.

It's so easy to make too; this list of ingredients is short and everything is made in a food processor (or blender). That's it!

While I originally made this Creamy Cilantro Dressing to accompany the Mexican Flank Steak I shared recently, it is so good that I've found a bunch of other uses for it too!

I always make extra flank steak when I'm preparing it; I know we'll want to use the leftovers for Mexican Flank Steak Tacos ...and this last time was no exception. I'll be posting my 'recipe' for those too but you can imagine, they're not hard to whip up once you have the meat already prepared...and this delicious Creamy Cilantro Dressing ready to go!

I loved this dressing so much that I made more after we had tacos. I added some olive oil to thin it out a bit, making it an official Creamy Cilantro Salad Dressing! Fantastic on a salad with lettuce, fresh garden tomatoes, and avocado.

I did not get a photo for you but we also loved it mixed with rice. I love this Mexican Cilantro Rice, it's basically a spicy seasoned olive oil based dressing that's added to rice, so I decided to try adding some of this Creamy Cilantro Dressing to rice and it was so good. A really great side dish we enjoyed with grilled burgers and fresh garden tomatoes.

I simply love the combination of ingredients in this dressing. I have a feeling that this particular combination of ingredients will become a mainstay in my fridge; it's so easy and SO delicious...make it, you'll see!

To store Creamy Cilantro Dressing after you've made it, keep it in an air tight container, a dressing bottle, or even a mason jar. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to one week...but I promise you it will be gone before then!
