Salads don’t have to be boring. With the right dressing, they can transform into a vibrant, flavorful experience. Enter my latest Jalapeño Lime Dressing—a creamy, craveable, and versatile sauce that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. This dressing elevates any salad into an explosion of flavors, balancing the heat of jalapeño with the zing of lime and the richness of mayo and olive oil. YUM!
What makes this dressing so great is its versatility. Not only does it elevate your salads, but it also adds a burst of flavor to grilled vegetables, serves as a delicious dip for crudités, and even works as a spread for sandwiches. I also serve this as a dressing for fajita bowls!
Store your Jalapeño Lime Dressing in a sealed jar in the fridge, and it will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
You’ll need a high speed blender for this dressing to really achieve the optimal smooth and creamy texture. I’ve been obsessed with my new beast blender lately, its tiny and mighty and super chic looking on my countertops. I haven’t been so excited about a new product recently so definitely check them out in link below.
