How to Make Lime Cumin Vinaigrette
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Zest and juice 1 lime. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of green onion and 1 small red chili (optional, adjust to your spice preference). Combine garlic, lime zest, lime juice, green onion, and chili in a medium bowl.
- Toast 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from heat and let cool on a plate.
- Once cooled, grind the toasted seeds using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Add the ground spices to the lime mixture.
- Whisk in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until well combined and emulsified.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro just before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (salt and pepper to taste).
