Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Fresh jalapeno
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Carefully slice the jalapeno in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membrane if you prefer a milder heat. Roughly chop the jalapeno.
Peel the garlic clove and chop it into smaller pieces for easy blending.
Add the chopped jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, Greek yogurt, honey, cilantro, salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula, if needed, to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice for tang, honey for sweetness, or salt and pepper to taste.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
