Ingredients
- •240 g Greek Yogurt (Nonfat)
Plain Greek yogurt — nonfat (0%) or low-fat (2%). Not regular yogurt.
- •30 g Mayonnaise, Light
- •20 g Lime Juice, Fresh
- •25 g JalapeñO Peppers, Pickled, Canned, Drained
- •5 g Cilantro, Fresh
- •5 g Garlic Blend, Seasoning
- •2 g Cumin, Ground
- •10 g Water
Instructions
- 1Combine the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lime juice, pickled jalapeños, cilantro, garlic blend, and ground cumin in a blender or food processor.
- 2Blend on medium speed for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and the cilantro is finely incorporated; stop and scrape down the sides if needed for a uniform green color.
- 3Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to chill thoroughly.
- 4Divide evenly into 11 airtight containers (approximately 2 tablespoons each) while the sauce is still cold.
- 5Seal all containers and refrigerate until ready to serve; stir gently before each use.
- 6Store up to 7 days refrigerated; note that fresh herb sauces begin to fade after 4–5 days, so use earlier servings first for brightest color and flavor.
Notes
Built on the Greek Yogurt Sauce Base. Use on tacos, burritos, eggs, grilled chicken, or as a veggie dip. Pickled jalapeños give consistent heat without the variability of fresh; use fresh jalapeño for more brightness. Blending makes this greener and more vibrant — whisking keeps it chunkier.
