About the Chef

Oregon, United States
My name is Alexia. I have lived in NE Oregon for most of my life, and love it here because it's where my family is. I have 3 younger sisters, 3 younger brothers, and a million cousins. I live with my husband and our three boys, and our dog Norman. My family is Greek/ Cajun/ Mexican, so food is very important to us;-) I love cooking and creating new recipes, my kids, my family, wine, painting, and everything retro! I am a dialysis technician. I love my job and my patients. I am currently studying to be a nurse. I love school, and so far it has been good to me... Dean's List or Honor Roll each term! Between work, school, my husband, our kids and all of their activities and adventures, I don't have a ton of time to blog. I love sharing recipes, so I make time for it when I can. You can follow me on Pinterest for more ideas and inspiration (thanks to those of you that have pinned my recipes!): pinterest.com/lexisamom .

Creamy Cilantro Salad Dressing

Busy Mama Recipes



I just made this for salad.  Goes great on wraps too!  SO yummy:-)

In a blender or food processor, combine:
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped (It's good with parsley too- makes a "Green Goddess" dressing)
4 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 large egg (or two smaller eggs)
1 tbs honey
1 tsp cayenne
salt and pepper

Blend everything until smooth, then slowly pour in 1/4 cup oil.  Grapeseed or a mild oil works best- olive oil is a little strong for this one.

  1. My friend made this tonight and it was a little on the spicy side for her, so slowly adding the cayenne and tasting it as you go is a good idea. :-)
