Description
Nothing beats homemade creamy cilantro lime dressing. It's fresh, vibrant, easy to make in 5 minutes, and tastes better than store-bought salad dressing.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, divided
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place 1/4 cup Greek yogurt along with all remaining ingredients into a food processor of blender. Pulse mix until combined and blended. You do not want to blend it completely smooth as you want to keep the dressing slightly textured with bits of cilantro visible.
- Transfer the dressing to a small bowl and add remaining 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. Stir with a spoon until combined. Adjust with more salt or honey to taste, if needed.
- Store dressing in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Use as desired over your favourite salads.
