Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 whole jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Begin by washing the fresh cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water and roughly chop.
Peel the garlic clove and remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño half to control the spice level.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro leaves, low-fat Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, peeled garlic clove, and deseeded jalapeño.
Add salt, black pepper, and water to the blender.
Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Occasionally stop to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the cilantro dressing into a clean jar or bottle. Secure with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Shake well before using and enjoy as a dressing on salads, a dip for vegetables, or a topping for grilled meats.
