Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 pepper Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the chipotle pepper. Use one chipotle pepper from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce; remove any seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt and the low-fat buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth.
Add the finely chopped chipotle pepper and one tablespoon of adobo sauce from the can. Stir until evenly mixed.
Sprinkle in the dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until all the spices are well incorporated into the yogurt mixture.
Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro. Ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Finally, add the lime juice to the mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine all the ingredients and enhance the flavor.
Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or a tightly sealed container. For the best flavor, refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, a dip for vegetables, or as a condiment in wraps. Refrigerate leftovers and use them within one week.
