Description

A delicious and easy recipe for Cilantro Yogurt Sauce that is perfect for cilantro lime shrimp or cilantro lime chicken! So good!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 24 tablespoons lime juice
  • zest of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Blend: Add ingredients to a small food processor. Blend until smooth.
  2. Taste and Adjust: Taste and add additional lime or cilantro, as desired. 
  3. Serve: Place in refrigerator for later or serve immediately – we love this on our Cilantro Lime Shrimp Rice Bowl

Notes

  • Mayo: if you are not a fan of mayo, you could probably omit (although I haven’t test it that way). That mayo does bring a bit of saltiness so you might need to adjust the salt level after you taste it. 
  • Dairy-Free: there are a few dairy-free “Greek yogurt” replacements out there on the market – you could try one of those or even a plain dairy free yogurt would most likely work.
