Cilantro-Lime Dressing image

After having a delicious TGI Friday's grilled chicken salad, I was determined to figure out the cilantro-lime salad dressing served with it. This is what I came up with. Delicious for a quick summery dinner. Grilled boneless chicken breasts served over a hearty green salad, and this dressing, voila!

This dressing is amazing! I used it on a salad with grilled chicken, avocado, and tomatoes, and it was the perfect complement. The cilantro and lime give it a bright, fresh flavor that really brightens up the salad.
