Author: Jase's Crazy Daisy

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C. seasoned rice vinegar or white wine vinegar (author prefers rice vinegar)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 t. Kosher salt or sea salt
  • 4 t. sugar
  • 1/4 C oil
  • heaping 1/2C chopped cilantro (author uses about 1/2 bunch)
  • Jalapeno seeded and chopped (totally optional; doesn't really make it spicy, it just adds that peppery flavor)

Preparation

Step 1

*You can make this one of two ways; combine everything except cilantro in blender, and give a whirl. Add cilantro and blend until the cilantro is the way you like it, into bigger or smaller pieces. If you make it in the blender, you don't have to worry about mincing the garlic too much.
*Or you can mis everything together in a jar or a bowl and just stir really well before you pour it. Obviously you would want to mince/chop things a bit more. I've done it both ways and I suppose it comes down to whether you want to hop and mince, or clean your blender
