Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh cilantro
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cilantro thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Trim off the thick stems from the cilantro bunch and roughly chop the leaves and tender stems.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them for easier processing.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cilantro, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, honey, ground black pepper, and cumin.

Step 5

Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 6

Add water to the mixture to achieve desired consistency, and blend again until smooth.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust any flavors if necessary. If desired, you can add a bit more lime juice for extra zest or honey for sweetness.

Step 8

Transfer the cilantro sauce to a container, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve the sauce chilled as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or as a dip for vegetables.
