Creamy Lime-Chile Dressing May 7, 2008

Two of my favorite flavors, lime and chili. You can make this dressing up to 2 days in advance. Use it as a dressing for Margarita Shrimp Salad.

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
• 3 tablespoons lime juice (approximately 2 limes, depending on juiciness)
• 2 teaspoons minced seeded jalapeno or serrano pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation:

1. A lime at room temperature gives the most juice (1 1/2-2 tablespoons). Before juicing, roll the lime on the counter, pressing down with your hand.
2. Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl.
