TGI Friday's Cilantro Lime Dressing Copycat Recipe

  Dressing

    




Ingredients:
TGI Friday's Cilantro Lime Dressing

1/4 cup fresh lime juice ( 1 good sized lime)
1/4 + cup fresh cilantro
1/3 cup honey
1 garlic clove peeled & minced
1 small sized fresh jalapeƱo de-seeded de-ribbed
3/4 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste ( I used 6 pinches of kosher salt)

Directions:
Juice the lime to 1/4 cup - (I am restaurant background, so used one good sized lime)
Wash and pick leaves off of several sprigs of cilantro, chop coarsely to equal a heaping 1/4 cup
Peel and mince a garlic clove, if the cloves are small use 2, Grate the fresh ginger, mince the jalapeno
Put all of the above in a food processor and process until every thing is reduced to very fine pieces
Add the honey & balsamic vinegar process a little, then drizzle in the olive oil.`Salt to taste, I used 6 pinces of kosher salt. Table salt - don't use as much.

Refrigerate. The dressing will separate, just shake to remix. It tastes much better if left sitting in the 'fridge for 24 hour before using.


I used a little mini-Cuisinart to do all the processing, there are little holes in the lid, perfect for drizzling the oil. Monari Federzoni Balsamic vinegar of Modena - brand is good and sweet, and easy on the pocketbook. Hint: buy fresh ginger, peel it and wrap chunks in film and freeze. You'll always have it on hand, and it's easier to grate. This is a very close match to Friday's. I read several here and online, and just kept tasting the 'sample' I bought from the restaurant.
