Creating this Chipotle Green Goddess Dressing feels like uncovering a secret garden, where each ingredient whispers its own story, blending into a harmonious symphony of flavors. It’s a recipe that invites you to slow down, to savor the process as much as the result.

Ingredients

• 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, tightly packed
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, tightly packed
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp chipotle powder
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a high-powered blender, combine the Greek yogurt, cilantro, parsley, lime juice, olive oil, chipotle powder, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
