Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 large (peeled) Garlic cloves
- 1 (seeded for less heat, optional) Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Wash the cilantro thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Pat it dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner.
In a blender or food processor, add the fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic cloves, and seeded jalapeño.
Pour in the lime juice, and add the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend everything until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure the mixture is well combined.
While the blender is running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending until the dip is creamy and smooth.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for extra flavor or spice.
Transfer the creamy cilantro salsa dip to a serving bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dip with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or your favorite dippers. Enjoy!
