Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing

Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing

I created this cilantro-lime dressing after having a delicious grilled chicken salad at TGI Friday’s. I was determined to figure out how to make their cilantro-lime dressing, and this is what I came up with. Serve it over a hearty green salad topped with grilled chicken.
