Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 unit Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cilantro leaves under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them. Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise, remove seeds for less heat if desired, and roughly chop half of it.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, sour cream, chopped garlic, and jalapeño.

Step 4

Add salt and ground black pepper to the blender, then blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño to suit your taste.

Step 7

Transfer the cilantro dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve the dressing chilled or at room temperature over salads, as a dip, or drizzled over grilled meats.
