Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing
Description
Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing features a blend of packed cilantro, plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic cloves, and kosher salt. These ingredients are blended together until smooth, creating a creamy texture with fresh herbal notes and a hint of sweetness balanced by the lime's acidity. The garlic adds depth while the honey softens the tartness.
Serving this dressing chilled enhances its refreshing character, making it a versatile accompaniment to green salads, grilled proteins, tacos, or rice dishes. Its creamy consistency makes it suitable as a drizzle or dip.
Allowing the dressing to chill for at least one hour, preferably overnight, helps meld the flavors for a more harmonious taste. If the dressing is too thick, additional yogurt can be added to adjust consistency, ensuring pourability according to personal preference.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cilantro packed
- 1 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice (about the juice of 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Taste and season with more salt, if necessary.
- Transfer to jar, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, before serving to help the flavors really meld together. If you don't have time to let it sit, you can serve it immediately.
- Drizzle on salads, tacos, rice bowls or grilled meats!
Notes
- Let the dressing chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight to blend flavors well.
- Add more Greek yogurt if a thicker consistency is desired.
- Include both cilantro stems and leaves, removing any excessively long stems for better texture.
