How to Make Cilantro And Yogurt Sauce
- Roughly chop 1 cup of fresh cilantro and 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves.
- Remove stem and finely chop 1 jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, mint, jalapeño, garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and the juice of 1 lemon. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
- Add 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or more, to reach desired consistency) and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Season generously with salt to taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust).
- Allow the sauce to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. The flavor will deepen over time; it's even better after 24 hours!
- Serve chilled with your favorite spicy dishes or as a dip with pita bread.
