Notes
LIME JUICE: 1 lime usually will yield 2 Tablespoons juice.
CILANTRO: If you don't have enough cilantro to make 1 cup (or if you don't like cilantro), use other herbs to make up the difference. Good choices are parsley, basil, oregano, tarragon.
SPICE: Include some of the membranes and/or seeds from the jalapeno for a spicy dressing. Without the seeds/membranes the jalapeno will add flavor, but it won't be spicy. You can also add ¼-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.
