Wash and pat dry the cilantro, then roughly chop it to make it easier to blend.
Peel the garlic clove and smash it lightly with the side of a knife.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Optional: If you want a creamier dressing, add the Greek yogurt to the blender.
Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even mixing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, or lime juice to your preference.
Pour the dressing into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir well before serving. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
