- In a high-powered blender, combine the Greek yogurt, cilantro, parsley, lime juice, olive oil, chipotle powder, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Blend on high speed for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and the herbs are fully incorporated. Tip: For a thinner consistency, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired texture is achieved.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed. Tip: This is also a good time to taste and adjust the seasoning, though the flavors will deepen after resting.
- Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Tip: The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it a perfect make-ahead option for busy weeks.
Just as the dressing settles, its vibrant green hue and smoky undertones promise a bold yet balanced addition to any dish. Drizzle it over a crisp salad, use it as a dip for roasted vegetables, or spoon it alongside grilled meats for an unexpected twist.
