What to serve with cumin lime vinaigrette
This cumin vinaigrette is a nice complement to many dishes, including South American and Mexican cuisine. Here are some ways you can use and serve cumin lime vinaigrette: Combine all of these ingredients, give a good stir and just like that you have yourself a lime cumin vinaigrette!
Lime juice: you’ll need ¼ cup of lime juice and for this recipe and fresh is best! The bottled stuff just won’t taste the same. Apple cider vinegar: vinegar is the balance to oil, and is part of the foundation of any good vinaigrette. If you don’t have apple cider vinegar on hand, you can use white vinegar instead in the same proportions. Honey: 1 tablespoon of honey will balance the zest and bite from the cumin and lime juice. Ground cumin: 1 teaspoon of ground cumin will add just the right amount of earthy, warm spice to this dressing. Dijon mustard: this is the secret ingredient in this vinaigrette, giving a real tang and sharpness to the flavors. Sea salt: just ¼ teaspoon will enhance the flavor of the dressing but also of whatever you’re pouring this over. Avocado oil: providing the base for the vinaigrette, this oil has a neutral taste but will help coat your salad.
Mexican-inspired: make this spicy Mexican rice and create a delicious bowl or taco salad using tomatoes, black beans, grilled corn, and this cumin lime vinaigrette recipe! Veggies: try this grilled vegetable salad with giant croutons and use the cumin vinaigrette recipe to really bring it to life! Marinade: this recipe makes for the perfect marinade! Try it with meat, poultry, or fish. The acid from the vinegar and lime juice will help make any protein nice and tender! Salad: This is amazing over our grilled corn salad with bbq sausage, or bring a simple spring mix salad to the next level using this vinaigrette.
One of the best parts of making your own vinaigrette is that you can adjust everything to your liking! Here are some ideas for additions and/or substitutions:
Lemon: if you don’t have limes on hand, you can try lemon cumin vinaigrette! The acidity from the lemon juice will bring a crisp, citrus bite to the vinaigrette, much like limes will. Garlic: garlic fans will want to add that distinct sharp taste from garlic to this dressing, you can use finely minced fresh garlic or garlic powder. Heat: if you want to turn up the heat a little bit you can try adding jalapeño or crushed chili pepper flakes. Vegan: you can easily make this a vegan cumin lime vinaigrette by using agave instead of the honey.
