Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
"Recipe by Our Best Bites - You'll just need a few ingredients that you may already have on hand--canola oil (olive oil was too strong), rice or white wine vinegar (regular white vinegar would also work), lime juice, sugar, Kosher salt, lots of garlic, and cilantro."

Vibrant colour and flavour, simple winner! I only used 1/2 of the oil, as I usually do with all vinaigrettes, we just like it tangier that way. -
This dressing is lovely and light. I added more lime juice and used less oil.
