Ingredients
1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (about 1 cup packed)
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
2½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar, optional (for additional sweetness)
3 teaspoons water, optional (to adjust thickness)
Directions
Add the cilantro, minced garlic, yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, honey, and salt to a food processor.
Pulse the mixture until smooth and well blended, about 1–2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your preference. Add the optional sugar if you prefer a slightly sweeter dressing.
If the dressing is too thick, add the optional water a teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Transfer to a bowl and serve with salads, grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables.
