Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh jalapeno peppers
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cups Cilantro leaves
- 1 piece Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor, or keep them in for extra heat.
Add the sliced jalapenos, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro leaves, garlic clove, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper into a blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend again until your desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lime juice, or honey as needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing cold over salads, as a dip for vegetables, or drizzled over grilled meats.
