Notes
- Since both the stems and leaves are used, make sure you thoroughly wash both and clean the stems with a damp paper towel to get rid of clinging dirt.
- After washing the cilantro, drain it completely so your dressing does not become watery.
- If you want to thin out the dressing, gradually add olive oil until you get the consistency you like.
- Unless you are using a high-powered blender or food processor, cut the garlic, cilantro, and chilies into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend them together.
- When making a smaller batch of dressing, I recommend using a blender instead of a food processor because the dressing may not combine well in a food processor.
