EPISODE 27: SANTA FE SALAD DRESSING (copycat)

Add 1 bunch of cilantro to a food processor and chop until finely minced. If you prefer chunkier cilantro, chop it by hand instead.

Add 1 tablespoon of regular mustard to the food processor.

Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to the mixture, adjusting based on desired dressing consistency.

Carefully add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette, tasting as you go to avoid overpowering the flavor.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of brown sugar to the mixture.

Mince 3 cloves of garlic and add to the dressing. Optionally, add garlic powder as well.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mixture, adjusting to taste.

Mix everything together thoroughly, adding olive oil and water to achieve desired consistency.

Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more balsamic vinaigrette or lemon juice as needed.

Mix again until well combined, ensuring no lumps remain from the mayonnaise or brown sugar.

For best flavor, refrigerate the dressing for at least a few hours or overnight before serving.
