It’s bright, zesty, garlicky, and fresh. Perfect with catibias, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even drizzled over salads.
Ingredients
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt strained/thick works best
- 1 lime juiced and zested
- 1 clove garlic finely grated or pressed
- 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon cumin optional, for warmth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave optional, to balance tartness
Instructions
Prep the Garlic
- Grate the garlic into a small bowl and let it sit in the lime juice for 2 minutes.
- This slightly softens the raw bite and makes the flavor smoother.
Combine
- Add the Greek yogurt, lime zest, cilantro, salt, pepper, and cumin.
Whisk
- Stir vigorously until smooth and fully combined.
Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving so the flavors meld.
