Step-by-Step Instructions for Chili Lime Vinaigrette
  1. In a medium-sized airtight container, add ½ cup of olive oil, ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup for a vegan option. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of chili powder for that vibrant kick.
