All you need is a few simple ingredients and a blender. This creamy cilantro lime salad dressing is ready in five minutes!

For this zesty green salad dressing you'll need olive oil, fresh lime juice, mayonnaise, salt, fresh garlic, jalapenos, honey and fresh cilantro. All the ingredients are whirled in a blender until smooth. Be sure to season well with salt and black pepper.
