Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Cilantro (fresh)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 small Jalapeño (seeded for less heat, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry the cilantro. Trim any large stems, leaving mostly leaves and tender stems.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic cloves, lime juice, jalapeño (if using), ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add the olive oil and blend again to incorporate.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed by adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for heat.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the cilantro bread dip with warm, crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
