Ingredients

• 1 cup, packed Fresh cilantro leaves and stems
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the fresh cilantro. Remove any tough stems, but keep the tender stems, as they add flavor.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure everything is well-incorporated.

Step 4

If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if necessary.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, though it can be served immediately if needed.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir before using as ingredients may separate over time.
