Garlic Lime Vinaigrette
Creamy Garlic Lime Vinaigrette is a zesty dressing featuring the sharp tang of fresh lime juice combined with garlic and a touch of sweetness from honey! This versatile salad dressing adds a burst of citrusy freshness to salads, grilled vegetables, or as a marinade for meats!
I love made-from-scratch salad dressing.
No preservatives or fillers here. Using simple on-hand ingredients you can make an array of vinaigrettes and dressing that will blow your mind.
This lime vinaigrette salad dressing is going to be your new go-to homemade dressing! Pair it with all of your favorite salads and veggies!
BOOM.
This is one of my favorite go-to vinaigrettes. I decided to put it on the blog after I served it to some friends and they asked to take the rest of the jar home after dinner.
I figure if we can’t get enough of it, and they can’t get enough of it, you might like it as well!
Simply pour all the ingredients in a mason jar and shake until smooth and creamy.

Delicious!! It was so good on our spinach salad we had tonight!
Fantastic dressing! Made exactly as listed. Used on a mixed greens salad and also on a lettuce/veggie salad, but it would be great on just about anything. I did find that it was best to dress the salad literally the moment of serving (I often dress the salad 15 minutes or so before eating) as apparently the high acid content will draw out liquid from any green or veggies and dilute the taste. Wonderful flavor!
Can you substitute anything for the heavy cream so it’s vegan?
Hi Debbie,
YOu can use our vegan cashew cream in this recipe. :)

Amazing! I subbed the heavy cream for the avocado as well, then blended it all together! Thank you so much!

Awesome. I substituted coconut nectar in place of honey. Instead of cream, I used two tablespoons of avocado. I didn’t have any pumpkin seeds on hand, so I use chopped pistachios and used pumpkin oil instead of olive oil. It came out really really great!
This was super easy to make. I did add 2 cloves of garlic instead of just 1, since I am a big fan of garlic. I really like the flavor and can hardly wait to use it on a salad. I am not partial to sweet dressings, so I think I might reduce the amount of honey.
Hi! I was wondering what I could use instead of heavy cream because I am vegan. Any suggestions?
puréed tofu, perhaps? I saw that online.
I use avocado in place of cream. You could also use cashews and add a tiny bit of water to them as your blending them.
great with raw beets!
