Cilantro Lime Ranch Dressing Recipe

This dressing blends Greek yogurt or sour cream with mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, and zesty lime juice, enhanced by onion and garlic powders for a punch of flavor. The mixture is blended until smooth, resulting in a creamy, bright dressing with herbal and citrus notes. It can be stored refrigerated for up to a week, making it a convenient addition to salads or as a dip.

Description

The Cilantro Lime Ranch Dressing is a creamy sauce made by combining Greek yogurt or sour cream with mayonnaise to provide richness and thickness. Fresh cilantro adds herbaceous brightness, while lime juice contributes acidity and tang. Onion powder and garlic powder give savory depth, all balanced with salt to taste.

The blending process ensures a smooth texture, mixing the creamy base with the fresh and dried flavor components. The dressing’s clean, zesty profile makes it versatile for green salads, as a topping for grilled proteins, or even as a dip for vegetables.

Stored in a sealed container and kept chilled, the dressing remains fresh for up to one week, allowing for easy meal prep use.
