Recipe Notes

Adding in the lime zest intensifies the lime flavor making this dressing out of this world. This tool does an excellent job of zesting.
If using this amazing tasting low iodine salt, increase total amount to 1 tsp. This is because the salt flakes measure differently than traditional salt.
Most chili powders are a blend of spices. For a more authentic flavor use pure ground chili powder like this one.
