Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large (minced) Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for thinning) Water
Instructions
Wash and dry the cilantro leaves thoroughly. Discard any large stems.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice for tanginess, honey for sweetness, or salt to enhance the flavor.
If the dressing is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again until desired consistency is achieved.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve chilled drizzled over salads, grilled meats, tacos, or as a dipping sauce.
