Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 Jalapeño pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the herbs. Rinse the cilantro, parsley, and mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off the excess water or pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and ribs if you prefer a milder sauce. Chop the jalapeño into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 4

In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro leaves, parsley leaves, mint leaves, garlic cloves, chopped jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Begin blending the mixture. With the processor running, gradually add the water to achieve your desired consistency. Blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is well mixed.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice for acidity.

Step 8

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes if you prefer it chilled, or serve immediately as a fresh dip.

Step 9

Enjoy this zesty green dipping sauce with your favorite dishes!
