Picante Dressing
Description
This vibrant Picante Dressing brings together the bright acidity of fresh lime juice with the smoky warmth of cumin and a gentle kick of coarse black pepper. Perfect for tossing with crisp iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and salty black olives, it transforms a simple salad into a refreshing Mexican-inspired meal. The combination of fresh cilantro and garlic salt adds depth and aroma, while the creamy texture of the dressing coats every bite. It is an easy, no-cook recipe that comes together in minutes using pantry staples. Ideal for summer barbecues, light weeknight dinners, or as a bold topping for grilled chicken and fish.Ingredients
