Homemade dressings are easier to prepare than you might expect. Our creamy cilantro lime dressing takes less than 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish including cleanup.
Greek yogurt gives the dressing body, fresh cilantro, garlic, and lime the tangy taste.

Hi,
I can imagine some uses for this dressing but there are no suggestions. There is a title bar for Uses but no text, just an image of the finished sauce in a bowl. How do you usually serve this?
I am enjoying your journal.
