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
- 2–4 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
- Blend: Add ingredients to a small food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste and add additional lime or cilantro, as desired.
- 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.
