Ingredients

• 1 cup, packed fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup lime juice
• 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 clove, minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and drying the fresh cilantro. Ensure that it is thoroughly dried to avoid diluting the dressing.

Step 2

In a food processor or blender, add the packed cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic.

Step 3

Blend for a few seconds until the cilantro is chopped finely.

Step 4

Add the low-fat Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to the blender.

Step 5

Blend again until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well combined, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary to ensure an even texture.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your taste preference.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing into a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve the dressing drizzled over salads, used as a dip with fresh vegetables, or as a marinade for grilled proteins. Store any leftovers in the fridge and use within 5 days for optimal freshness.
