    While the name implies dressing, this yogurt cilantro lime sauce is so versatile. It's great as a dip for veggies, in wraps, or as a sauce for grilled chicken or meat.

    This dressing comes together so quickly, just add the ingredients to a food chopper (I've had this one for years), or blender.

    Ingredients Needed

    It's just 5 simple ingredients to make this yogurt cilantro lime dressing.

    • Cilantro
    • Garlic
    • Lime
    • Yogurt
    • Salt
    Ingredients for yogurt cilantro lime dressing.

    I also like to add a jalapeno or serrano for spice, but since my kids were eating this, I did not add one.

    Substitutions

    You can modify this recipe based on your preference, what you have on hand, or your dietary needs.

    • Cilantro- Substitute Basil or Parsley
    • Garlic- Omit or use granulated garlic
    • Lime- Substitute Lemon
    • Yogurt- I prefer Greek Yogurt, but you can use sour cream or a plant based yogurt for a dairy free version

    How to Serve and Store

    Serve the dressing immediately or store in a glass bottle/container up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

    The dressing will begin to separate as it sits, just give it a shake before serving.

    Use as a salad dressing or as a dip for veggies and grilled meat. This is a great way to add some flavor and moisture to chicken or steak that has been over-cooked.

    This creamy cilantro lime dressing goes great with seafood too, like shrimp or fish tacos.
