  1. cilantro lover REVIEW:

    This is a great recipe!!! Great for salads and potato tacos! I substituted white wine vinegar, instead of red (because I was out), and it added a lovely bright, clean flavor- I would definitely recommend it!

  2. kati REVIEW:

    Absolutely delicious, the right blend of everything. Great for any salad, chicken, steak, spinace, cobb, etc.

  3. Mary

    The taste was good but it only makes a couple spoonfuls. It says it makes half a cup but with only 3 TBS vinegar, 3 TBS oil and 2 TBS lime juice there isn't much there.

  4. Ria REVIEW:

    I was looking for a lime vinaigrette I had a Mexican restaurant and came across this recipe.. It's fantastic-- better than what I had at the restaurant! Pretty simple to whip up too, Thanks so much for sharing it!
