Preparation

Step 1

Combine the oil, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, chile and a scant tsp. salt in a blender jar and blend until smooth. Taste and add more salt if you think it needs it, keeping in mind that dressings should be highly seasoned. Pour into a jar, secure the lid and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well immediately before use.
