Fiery Cilantro and Chile Dressing - Low Fat Recipes

Fiery Cilantro and Chile Dressing - Low Fat Recipes

Ingredients

1/3 cup Cilantro leaves
2-3 TB Fresh Chile peppers (I prefer serranos)
2 TB Fresh Red Pepper (for color)
4 cloves Garlic (roasted if you have it)
2 TB Brown sugar
1-2 TB Fish Sauce (available in grocery stores or Asian Markets)
1/2 cup Lime or lemon juice (which ever you prefer)
1/4tsp White pepper
1/4tsp Cracked black pepper

Directions

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.

I use this on vegetable and grilled meat salads.
