- 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Wash the cilantro thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves and some of the tender stems, along with the extra virgin olive oil.
Add the lime juice, peeled garlic cloves, chopped jalapeño, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Begin blending the mixture, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
Gradually add the water a tablespoon at a time and blend until you achieve your desired consistency. You can add more water if you prefer a thinner sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice if desired.
Once the sauce is smooth and well-blended, transfer it to a serving bowl or jar.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
