Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, packed fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the fresh cilantro. Ensure that it is thoroughly dried to avoid diluting the dressing.
In a food processor or blender, add the packed cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic.
Blend for a few seconds until the cilantro is chopped finely.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend again until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well combined, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary to ensure an even texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your taste preference.
Transfer the dressing into a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing drizzled over salads, used as a dip with fresh vegetables, or as a marinade for grilled proteins. Store any leftovers in the fridge and use within 5 days for optimal freshness.
