Lush Cilantro Dressing

Ingredients 0/8

Step 1

Set your oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat it. Line a baking sheet with foil, then place the peppers cut side down on the sheet. Pop them under the broiler and cook until their skins are nicely blackened and blistered—this usually takes around 5 to 8 minutes. Once done, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap so they can steam and cool for about 20 minutes. When they’re cool enough to handle, peel off and discard the skins.

Step 2

Toss the roasted peppers, canola oil, pepitas, red wine vinegar, lime juice, cotija cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor. Give everything a quick blend until it’s combined—about 10 seconds. Then, add the cilantro gradually, blending until the dressing is smooth and vibrant.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and water until the mixture is silky. Finally, pour in the pepper blend and stir everything together until it’s fully mixed and ready to enjoy.
