Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette.  This is my favorite vinaigrette... ever.  I mean it.  Ever.  I can't help it.  I literally could sit down and eat this with a spoon and be happy.

I'm crazy for the combo of lime and cilantro.  Lime and anything really, but this?  Killer.  I am SO happy I am not one of those people that thinks cilantro tastes like soap.  That would be a major bummer.  So sorry if that's you!

In an effort to make lunch time easier for myself, I've been picking a salad and prepping the ingredients on Sunday's.  I make up this cilantro lime vinaigrette and at the same time prep all the salad ingredients I want to go with it.  For this particular salad that usually means corn, black beans, diced bell pepper, green onion, and tortilla strips.  Then I keep it all in the fridge ready to go.  When lunch rolls around and I'm famished, all I have to do is throw the salad into a bowl, top with the cilantro lime vinaigrette, and eat.  It makes healthy eating choices so much easier.  If I don't prep ahead I usually just end up eating dove dark chocolates all day which, while delicious, isn't super nutritious.

I made a version of this a while back but don't go looking for that one ok?  Let's just stick with the 'new and improved' Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette.  It's got more cilantro, sweetened with honey, and a few more things to jazz it up.  If you like cilantro, I know you'll like this!
