This is a copycat recipe of a salad dressing served at the El Torito Mexican Restaurant franchise. I made substitutions and adjustments with some of the ingredients for ease in preparation.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium mild anaheim chili, roasted and seeded
3 tablespoons roasted pumpkin seeds ("pepitas") or 3 tablespoons roasted sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cups packed fresh cilantro leaves
1 large garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup salad oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons grated Cotija cheese or 4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon dry roasted whole cumin seed (optional)

Steps:

  • NOTE: I have also used a combination of vegan mayonnaise, sour cream and/or plain yogurt with this recipe, using up what I have on hand.
  • Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. (Or use an hand held immersion blender to blend. ).
  • For thinner salad dressing, add more water. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • The thicker version of this dressing makes a delicious topping for fish tacos, tostadas; or as a dip for tortilla chips, etc.
  • Best if prepared at least an hour in advance.
  • Yield is estimated.

El Torito Cilantro and Pepita Salad Dressing image

Green Bean Salad with Pumpkin Seed Dressing image

Categories     Bean     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Low/No Sugar     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup green (hulled) pumpkin seeds (not roasted; 2 1/4 oz) or pine nuts (2 1/2 oz)
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 lb green beans (preferably haricots verts)
2 small tomatoes (1/2 lb total), halved, seeded, and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips

Steps:

  • Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until puffed but not browned, about 6 minutes. (If using pine nuts, toast until pale golden, about 7 minutes.) Transfer to a plate to cool. Reserve 1 tablespoon seeds, then purée remaining seeds in a blender with garlic, oil, water, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and 1 tablespoon cilantro until smooth.
  • Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander, then plunge into a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain beans and pat dry.
  • Arrange beans on a plate and drizzle with two thirds of dressing. Top with tomatoes and remaining dressing, then sprinkle with remaining tablespoon cilantro and reserved pumpkin seeds.

CREAMY CILANTRO SALAD DRESSING
