Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (recommended: whole milk or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Zest of 2 medium limes
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Steps

  1. In a food processor, combine the yogurt, oil, lime zest and juice, garlic, cumin, onion powder, and salt. Blend until smooth. Add the cilantro. Process in long bursts, stopping when you still have a few specks of cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired— I typically add another pinch of salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
