Tangy Cilantro Dressing and Marinade

I wanted to make Cajun Spiced Beef Skewers, so needed a sauce. I’ve adapted a recipe for a Tangy Cilantro Dressing & Marinade from The Daily Dietribe to be low-amine. I used the sauce drizzled over the top of the skewers once served, and saved the rest as a salad dressing.

1/2 C packed cilantro, stems and all

1/2 tsp sugar

1/3 C fresh lime juice (2 limes)

1/4 C apple juice

3/4 tsp ascorbic acid

4 large garlic cloves

1/2 tsp salt

1 C safflower oil

Cilantro Dressing & Marinade

Blend cilantro, garlic, sugar, and lime juice in a food processor until well-processed.
Add all other ingredients and blend.
Serve with a dish, as a dressing, use as a low-amine marinade, or save in a bottle for later in the fridge.

AMINE BREAKDOWN:

Very Low Amine: cilantro, lime, ascorbic acid, apple juice, garlic, salt

Low Amine: sugar, safflower oil

[...] I still have a fair amount of Cajun Seasoning Mix leftover from my Cajun Thanksgiving, so wanted to use it up on a simple appetizer. Beef skewers are always a good way to go, when well seasoned or marinated. I served it with a low-amine Cilantro Sauce. [...]
