A few days ago my neighbor was leaving to go on vacation, and had an excess of cilantro from his garden. I was happy to take it off his hands but WOW there was a lot!

It wasn't that long ago that I made some delicious Indian style cilantro chutney, but I knew that I needed another way of using up a LOT of cilantro! The idea came to me when I remembered making a lemon balm vinaigrette around this time last year when my lemon balm had grown super rapidly. So here you have it – cilantro vinaigrette!

How to Make Cilantro Vinaigrette

Combine the fresh cilantro (leaves and stalks), extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic paste, and salt together in a blender (I love my Ninja!).

By the way, if you live in the US, check out how you can get a bottle of quality EVOO for just $1!

Taste for seasoning and add a little extra salt or vinegar if necessary. If the vinaigrette is too thick, either add a drop more vinegar or water. Blend again until smooth.

Transfer to a storage bottle or jar. Store in the fridge but remove at least 10 minutes before serving as the EVOO will temporarily solidify, so it just needs some time at room temperature.

I served this over salmon fillets and salad for a really tasty lunch. What would you serve it with?
