Does anyone have a recipe similar to the House vinagrette at the Cheesecake Factory. I recently had a chopped salad there that was great:)
Description Cilantro based salad dressing used in the Santa Fe Chicken Salad along with a drizzle of Spicy Peanut Sauce Dressing Makes about 1 pint
3 whole big cloves of garlic, (minced-see instructions)
1 TBSP packed minced fresh ginger (see instructions)
2 bunches cilantro, (rinsed well, most of stalky ends trimmed off) finely chopped (see Instructions)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1-1/2 tsps wine vinegar
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 TBSP honey
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup olive oil
- I use a food processor. If you do not have one you will need to mince the garlic, ginger and cilantro before adding in the spices, lemon juice, honey, vinegar and cheese. Whisk in the oil so it is emulsified into the dressing.
- Food processor instructions:
- Drop garlic cloves and ginger through the feed tube while motor is on. Mince well. Add the cilantro and process until finely chopped. Add spices, lime juice, vinegar, honey, and parmesan cheese. Process until well mixed. With motor running slowly pour the oil through the feed tube. Let process one more minute. Enjoy!

No but thanks. I was not looking for the Santa Fe version, I saw several copies of that. This they called their House vinagrette. It was on a pretty plain chopped salad. Did not have a theme, like a Mexican type salad.
Thanks
did you ever find this recipe?
