We have three salad dressing recipes on this page of the site – a wonderful fresh tasting citrus salad dressing, a vinaigrette recipe with lovely sesame and ginger flavors and a Mexican vinaigrette, a perfect dressing recipe for salads that accompany Mexican meals.
All of these delicious salad dressing recipes are easy to make, with just a few simple ingredients that you will most likely have on hand.
Use whatever citrus juice you prefer or mix them as we have shown in the recipe. The orange juice is obviously sweeter. Match the taste with other items you are serving.
Salad dressing isn’t just used to top salads any more. This citrus dressing is perfect drizzled over grilled or broiled fish or on sliced avocado. You can even top a fruit salad with it.

The lime and cilantro are giveaways that this is a Mexican inspired salad dressing. Use it on salads to accompany your favorite Mexican recipes, or on any salad where you want to add the flavors of Mexico.
