Cilantro Yogurt Sauce Recipe

This easy Cilantro Yogurt Sauce Recipe is not only incredibly delicious but also very versatile pairing well with a variety of dishes! 
Prep Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 packed cups fresh cilantro leaves, may substitute with fresh parsley
  • 1 cup thick Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, add all of the ingredients and blend on high speed into a smooth sauce. Scrap down the sides of the blender or food processor and re-blend as needed to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated into the sauce. If a thinner sauce is preferred, mix in some more lime juice or water 1 tablespoon at a time to thin out to desired consistency.
  • Serve sauce immediately as a dip or addition to dish of choice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To store leftover sauce, transfer into an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to one week. 
  • Refrigerated sauce will thicken up. If a thinner sauce is preferred, mix in some lime juice or water 1 tablespoon at a time to thin out to desired consistency. 
  • I recommend trying this sauce with my Crispy Butter Chicken Tacos Recipe.
