Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cilantro
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the cilantro thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat dry with paper towels.
Trim off the thick stems from the cilantro bunch and roughly chop the leaves and tender stems.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them for easier processing.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, honey, ground black pepper, and cumin.
Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.
Add water to the mixture to achieve desired consistency, and blend again until smooth.
Taste the sauce and adjust any flavors if necessary. If desired, you can add a bit more lime juice for extra zest or honey for sweetness.
Transfer the cilantro sauce to a container, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the sauce chilled as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or as a dip for vegetables.
