This is a bright, zippy salad dressing that is awesome on anything Mexican. I made this salad dressing to go on my Mexican Carnitas Cobb Salad, but you could also use it as a sauce on chicken or to top an enchilada, taco or maybe as a dip with a quesadilla? So many possibilities …

Made this last night to go with a chicken taco salad. SOOO delicious!!
Hurrah that makes me so happy, Jessica! Thanks for your sweet comments 🙂
Delicious! I had all of the ingredients on hand so whipped this up as soon as I found the recipe. Yum! I was too lazy to pull the sugar down so I substituted honey, which seems to taste fine. I also wasn’t quite sure what to do with the olive oil since it isn’t mentioned in the instructions so I only put one of the TB and it doesn’t seem to be lacking any flavor. I can’t wait for our taco salad tonight!

How long could I keep this on my fridge? Sound delicious!!!
At least a week, possibly two (or more), would be safe, Frances. I used mine up rather quickly, so I’m not exactly sure.
I made this tonight to have with a grilled chicken chopped salad. It was great. I subbed honey for the sugar and used a whole avocado.
Yay, Rachel, I am so happy you like the recipe … 🙂
Hello Ms. Ann,
Start off by saying I HATE avocados so I am really baffled as to how i LOVE this recipe. It’s so refreshing and I know this thread is old but if you get this just know that you set a bar.
That’s awesome news! Thank you for taking the time to send me a comment, Dante. You made my day. 🙂
