Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by placing the fresh cilantro leaves, garlic cloves, water, mayonnaise, white vinegar, and lemon juice into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the mixture until the cilantro and garlic are finely minced. The mixture should be well-combined but not completely pureed. 🌱🍋

-
Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Add the remaining ingredients – the red wine vinegar and light olive oil – into the food processor. Pulse the mixture several times until all components are just combined. Avoid over-processing; the goal is to achieve a slightly chunky texture, not a smooth emulsification. 🧄🍶

Chill: Transfer the dip into a bowl and cover it. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and intensify. 🕒❄️
-
Serve: After chilling, your Cilantro Dip is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it alongside your favorite corn chips for a deliciously refreshing snack or use it as a flavorful addition to your meals. 🌟🍴
