Ingredients

  • 1 cilantro stems removed, bunch
  • 4 jalapeno pepper stem removed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup yogurt or sour cream, plain, Greek
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 TBSP white vinegar
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine ingredients in your trusty food processor or blender and blend to creamy perfection! It's that easy!
  2. For a custom spice level, feel free to remove the seeds from the peppers and keep them on the side. Then simply add as many seeds back in as you'd like and blend. The more seeds you add, the spicier the dip will be!

Notes

  • To reduce heat, remove jalapeño seeds and veins before blending; for more heat, add whole seeds or extra peppers.
  • If the dip is too spicy, mellow it by stirring in additional yogurt or cream cheese.
  • For greater spice intensity, consider adding red pepper flakes or extra jalapeños cautiously.
  • Pairs well with sliced bell peppers, mini sweet peppers, or crispy tortilla chips for dipping.
