CREAMY CILANTRO SALAD DRESSING
This is my best take on the dressing that is used in the El Torito restaurants in southern California. Be sure to toss some roasted pepitas and crumbled Cotija or Manchengo cheese on top of your salad for the full effect!

CREAMY CILANTRO LIME DRESSING
This recipe is similar to one that we enjoy at our favorite fast food salad place. We also use this as a dip for chicken nuggets. If dressing is too thick, thin it with a little milk.

CAST-IRON HOME FRIES WITH ROASTED GREEN CHILES, CILANTRO, GREEN ONIONS, RADICCHIO, AND CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING
Steps:
- For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Let sit while the potatoes boil to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the poblanos with a few tablespoons of canola oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Put the poblanos on a baking sheet and roast until the skin is blackened on all sides, turning a few times, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and immediately cover with plastic wrap. Let sit and steam for at least 15 minutes and up to a few hours. Transfer to a cutting board and remove the skin and seeds. Thinly slice the poblanos and set aside.
- While the chiles are roasting, put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover by 2 inches of cold water. Add 2 tablespoons salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until a skewer or paring knife inserted into the center of the potatoes meets no resistance, about 25 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes). Drain and let cool for at least 5 minutes on a cutting board. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch dice.
- Heat 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook, pressing firmly with a spatula, until a crust has formed on the bottom. Gently turn them and cook until all sides are golden brown and crisp, adding more oil if needed. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, and then add the chiles, radicchio and dressing and stir gently to combine. Fold in the cilantro and green onions and serve warm or at room temperature.

FAT FREE CREAMY CHIPOTLE CILANTRO SAUCE/DRESSING
I made this up the other night because I ran out of fat free yogurt for a raita. It was great on our grilled Thai chicken, and I'm sure it would be great with grilled fish or shrimp, on grilled veggies, etc. Very refreshing, but with a kick! Add an extra chipotle if you love spicy... If you have fresh tomatoes or cucumber, de-seed them and finely chop and add them in, for a great relish!
