Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing
Description
The Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing combines vibrant fresh cilantro with a base of plain whole milk yogurt to create a creamy texture. Garlic and lime juice add pungency and acidity, while honey balances the flavors with subtle sweetness. Extra-virgin olive oil is slowly incorporated during blending to emulsify the dressing, giving it a smooth, rich finish.
If included, jalapeño contributes a gentle spice without overwhelming the fresh herbs and citrus brightness. The dressing is blended until fully smooth, ensuring a uniform consistency ideal for drizzling or tossing with salads, grilled vegetables, or proteins.
Stored in a sealed container, this dressing maintains its fresh flavor for up to a week, providing a versatile condiment that pairs well with a range of dishes requiring a zesty herbaceous touch with creamy body.

Instructions
