More Ways with Cilantro-Citrus Vinaigrette
This Cilantro-Citrus Vinaigrette Recipe does more than dress salads. It transforms into a fresh and flavorful sauce when drizzled on grilled fish (like halibut, tilapia, sea bass or snapper) and shellfish (like scallops, shrimp, clams and mussels). It boosts the flavor of cooked vegetables (like green beans, broccoli and peas) and makes a great marinade for chicken and pork.
