Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 small garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the cilantro leaves thoroughly. Remove any tough stems for best flavor.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro leaves, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, honey, and cumin powder.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic clove. Add it to the blender.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Pulse for a few seconds to start combining the ingredients, then blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Check the consistency. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add 1 tablespoon of water and blend again. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
