Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 medium garlic clove
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions:

  1. Zest the lime first. Note: It's much harder to zest a lime after you've squeezed the juice out.
  2. Squeeze the lime juice through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl to remove all seeds.
  3. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Note: Don't worry about precision here; the blender does the work.
  4. Add the plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, zest, cilantro, garlic, and ground cumin into your blender or food processor.
  5. Process on high for 30–60 seconds until the sauce is a consistent pale green color.
  6. Taste the sauce. This is the critical part — every lime varies in acidity.
  7. Whisk in water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a drizzle able consistency.
  8. Add the fine sea salt gradually, tasting after each pinch, to balance the tang of the yogurt.
  9. Transfer to an airtight container and chill for 30 minutes until the flavors have fully married.
