- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 whole jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the fresh cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water and roughly chop.
Step 2
Peel the garlic clove and remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño half to control the spice level.

In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro leaves, low-fat Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, peeled garlic clove, and deseeded jalapeño.
Step 4
Add salt, black pepper, and water to the blender.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Occasionally stop to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 6
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the cilantro dressing into a clean jar or bottle. Secure with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Step 8
Shake well before using and enjoy as a dressing on salads, a dip for vegetables, or a topping for grilled meats.
