Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1.5 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Add Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, sea salt, and onion powder into a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Toss in the fresh cilantro and pulse until just combined, keeping some flecks of green for texture.
- Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve & Enjoy! Drizzle over tacos, burritos, fajitas, or use as a dip for veggies and chips.
Notes
- Adjust the Consistency – If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of water or extra lime juice until you reach your desired texture.
- Make it Spicier – Blend in a little jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce for a kick of heat.
- Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh lime juice and cilantro make a big difference in flavor, so skip the bottled stuff if possible.
- Let it Chill – For even better flavor, let the sauce sit in the fridge for 15–30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
