Sabrina’s notes

If you’re craving a creamy dressing, transforming this recipe is a breeze! Simply add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, sour cream, or mayonnaise. Blend these ingredients with the salad dressing mixture, and you’ll emulsify them. A rich, creamy dressing that’s perfect on this salad.

    1. I ended up making it myself. I added the iceberg lettuce, jalapeno, mayonnaise, lemon juice, ½ head of cilantro and ¼ teaspoon salt to the food processor and combine until completely smooth (all ingredient measurements are in the ingredient list). Let sit for a few hours in the fridge if you can. The sauce will begin to separate after a few days, so don’t make too much at once. Hope you enjoy!
