Description
This bright and tangy dressing is creamy and perfect for drizzling over salads, grain bowls, or as a dip for veggies. It’s fresh, easy to make, and flavor-packed with lime and cilantro.
Ingredients
Dressing Base
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (Use plain, not vanilla. Full fat is creamier, but 2 percent works too.)
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch.)
- 1 handful fresh cilantro (Stems are fine.)
- 1 clove garlic (One small clove is plenty, or use garlic powder for a milder taste.)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (This will wake everything up.)
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (Optional sweetener to balance the lime.)
- 1-3 tablespoons water or olive oil (Water thins it out; olive oil makes it richer.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Add 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt to a bowl or blender.
- Squeeze in the juice of 1 to 2 limes, depending on how tangy you like it.
- Add 1 packed handful of cilantro (stems are fine).
- Add 1 small garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- If you want it slightly balanced, add 1 to 2 teaspoons honey.
- Blend or whisk, then thin with 1 to 3 tablespoons water until it pours the way you like.
- Taste it and adjust as necessary.
Notes
This dressing keeps well for about 4 to 5 days in the fridge. Stir before each use, as it may separate.
