Great to use for summer entertaining. The only change I made to the lime-cilantro dressing was to add a dash of chipotle chili powder and a dash of cumin. Before adding these, the recipe was a little too "bright" and needed some smokiness. I used this recipe over a layered taco salad that included tri-colored tortilla strips, black beans, corn, Chopped tomatoes, quartered & seeded cucumber slices, Mexican cheese, lime wedges (garnish), avocado slices. I made the Key West chicken recipe from Allrecipes, as another person suggested. I LOVE these two recipes together! I think this Key West chicken and a little of the lime-cilantro dressing drizzled over it could be pretty versatile together, even in different dishes. (I cooked the chicken on a grill pan and then cut it into strips to serve with the salad. With the taco salad, I also served taco-seasoned ground beef and had a bottle of Catalina dressing on hand, so people could go “old school” with their taco salad, if they wanted to do so, instead of using the chicken and lime-cilantro vinagrette. (The Catalina bottle never got opened, though :) I also made taco bowls by putting 10-inch flour tortillas over soup cans in the oven, on a baking sheet, baking @ 400 for 10 min, then letting cool completely so they retain their shape.

Just made this quickly for salad tonight and it was fresh, light, and tasty. Didn't follow the recipe exactly, just kind of taste tested my way through until I was satisfied. I added just a little fresh spring red onion and celery seed and used a little less olive oil. Will make again, thanks!

I absolutely loved this recipe. I actually substituted lemons for limes because it was all I had and I still ended up loving it. I bet with limes it will be so much more awesome. Everyone at the bbq was commenting and asking for the recipe. I partially think you can't really go wrong with these particular flavors because they are pretty flavorful on their own and commonly used in foods. Tangy with a little sweet.. leaves a good tast. Loved it in combination with avacados and beans in my salad. Enjoy!

SO YUMMY! I will (from now on) make my own dressings. I made another vinaigrette last week from off this site, and my picky stomach agrees with my own fresh ingredients! I did add more brown sugar (to suit my taste)......i COULD ALMOST DRINK THIS! LOL!! (I love lime and cilantro A LOT!!)

Very simple preparation; I used my stick blender to cut down on cleanup. I also cut the oil by 1/4 to make the final product a little lower in calories. The taste is pretty good alone, but I probably would have only given it four stars if I hadn't found the right salad to serve it on. It really sang on a salad of baby greens (a large plate), half a tomato, 1/8 of a red onion, a quarter of an avocado, half an ounce of crumbled cotija and a sliced grilled chicken breast (Key West Chicken, recipe from this site). Awesome, easy-to-make combo that I will make again soon!

Beautiful color, and I loved the fresh bite of the cilantro and the tang of the fresh lime juice and vinegar; however, I did not care for the sweetness from the brown sugar at all.

This was delish! I used with the Margarita Grilled Shrimp from this site over a salad of romaine, yellow peppers, tomato and red onion. AMAZING! The shrimp were 5 stars too!

Very tasty! I only modifiers slightly by reducing the amount of oil by half, and using a combination of grape seed and omega plus (olive, avocado, and flaxseed) oils.

This is great! I love cilantro, but the lime juice definitely mellows the taste of the cilantro. Very refreshing summer salad dressing!
