Ingredients

4 servings

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

Instructions

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.
