Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 jalapeño (optional, for extra spice)
Instructions
Rinse the cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry using a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice the jalapeño in half, removing seeds if you prefer a milder flavor.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, honey, salt, black pepper, and jalapeño (if using).
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lime juice, or honey based on your preference.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your preferred dishes such as tacos, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats.
