Cilantro-Lime Dressing FAQs

How long can I store this dressing for?

This dressing will last in an air-tight container in your fridge up to 1 week. If you want to store your dressing longer than that, you may want to make smaller portions instead and have all the dry ingredients pre-mixed and ready to go.

How can I use this dressing?

Get creative! You can use this dressing any way you want! Of course, you can pour it on a Southwestern salad or as a dip for your enchiladas and quesadillas. But you could also use it as a minimalist pasta dressing, a seasoning to brush on top of freshly baked rolls, or as a marinade for fresh veggies.
