Fiery Cilantro And Chile Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chile peppers (e.g., Serranos)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh red pepper (for color)
  • 4 cloves garlic (roasted if you have it)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce (available in grocery stores or Asian markets)
  • 1/2 cup lime or lemon juice (whichever you prefer)
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend well. If you don't have either of these machines then you'll simply need to chop the ingredients very fine and combine in a mixing bowl.

Use this on vegetable and grilled meat salads.
