Ingredients
11 servings
- •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

Instructions
- 1Measure the 0% Greek yogurt, light mayo, lime juice, pickled jalapeños, dried cilantro, garlic blend, cumin, and water directly into a blender or food processor.
- 2Blend on medium speed for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and uniformly green, scraping down the sides once halfway through to ensure no dry pockets remain.
- 3Taste the sauce — it should be tangy, herby, and gently spiced. Blend an additional 10–15 seconds if any texture remains.
- 4Transfer the sauce to a bowl or measuring cup and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until thoroughly chilled and flavors have melded.
- 5Divide evenly into 11 small meal-prep containers (approximately 2 tablespoons each).
- 6Seal all containers and refrigerate for up to 7 days. Stir briefly before each use.
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.
