Notes
- Wash cilantro leaves and stems thoroughly, wiping stems with a damp paper towel to remove dirt.
- Drain cilantro well after washing to avoid watery dressing.
- Add olive oil gradually to reach desired dressing thickness.
- Cut garlic, cilantro, and chilies into smaller pieces to ease blending if not using a high-powered blender.
- Use a blender instead of a food processor for smaller batches for better texture and mixing.
