Make this quick, creamy cilantro lime sauce in five minutes. It works well as a dip, dressing, or topping for tacos and grilled food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Process the ingredients until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust salt or lime juice if necessary.
  4. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a spicier sauce, add one seeded jalapeño pepper with the other ingredients.
  • If you do not have Greek yogurt, you can substitute it with sour cream or mayonnaise for a similar creamy texture.
  • This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to four days.
