Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves (stems removed)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 unit Garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Rinse the cilantro well and pat dry. Remove the stems, leaving mostly the leaves and tender parts.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, blending again until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or honey if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve as a dressing for salads, a dip for fresh veggies, or a sauce for tacos or burrito bowls.
