ZESTY CORIANDER LIME DRESSING

Zesty Coriander Lime Dressing is a refreshing, herbaceous dressing that combines the bold flavours of fresh coriander, zesty lime juice and aromatic garlic. The olive oil provides a smooth base, while salt and pepper balance out the tanginess, making this dressing a perfect complement to salads, tacos, grilled meats and grain bowls. This dressing brings a bright, citrusy kick to any dish, making it especially popular in Mexican, Mediterranean and Southeast Asian cuisine. It can also be used as a marinade, adding a depth of flavour to chicken, seafood or tofu. With its minimal ingredients and no-cook preparation, this dressing is quick and easy to make while delivering maximum flavour. Whether drizzled over a fresh green salad, spooned over grilled vegetables or mixed into a grain bowl, this dressing enhances any meal with its zesty and aromatic profile.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this coriander lime dressing.

  • Use Fresh Coriander: Fresh coriander leaves provide the best flavour; avoid using wilted or yellowing leaves.
  • Chop Coriander Finely: This ensures even distribution throughout the dressing, preventing clumps of herbs.
  • Balance Acidity: If the dressing tastes too sharp, add a little more olive oil to mellow it out.
  • Adjust The Garlic Intensity: If you prefer a milder garlic flavour, let the dressing sit for 10 minutes before using.
  • Whisk Before Serving: Lime juice and olive oil may separate, so stir well before each use.
  • Enhance The Flavour: A pinch of ground cumin or a drop of honey can add depth and complexity to the dressing.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Coriander Lime Dressing: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a mild heat. Adjust spice level as desired.
  • Creamy Coriander Dressing: Blend in 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt or avocado for a thicker, creamier consistency.
  • Garlic-Infused Dressing: Let the minced garlic sit in the lime juice for 10 minutes before mixing to deepen the flavour.
  • Citrus Blend Dressing: Mix in ½ tsp orange juice for a slightly sweeter, more vibrant flavour that pairs well with seafood.
  • Soy-Free Alternative: Replace salt with coconut aminos for a naturally salty, umami-rich flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before using, as separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as fresh herbs may lose their flavour and texture when thawed.
  • Serving Tip: If the dressing thickens in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir well before serving.
