Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
1 cup diced peeled seeded cucumber
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients in processor using on/off turns just until cucumber is finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Cover and chill.)

Tips:

  • For a thicker sauce, use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of regular yogurt.
  • To make a vegan version of the sauce, use coconut yogurt or cashew cream instead of regular yogurt.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. Use about 1/4 of the amount of dried cilantro that you would fresh cilantro.
  • If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice instead. Use about 2 tablespoons of bottled lime juice for every 1 lime that the recipe calls for.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cilantro lime yogurt sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used as a dipping sauce, a marinade, or a dressing. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, fajitas, and other Mexican dishes.
