Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (4 ounces)
- 1/2 cup red salsa
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the dressing: Add the full-fat Greek yogurt, red salsa, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to a glass jar. Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend them in a regular blender or food processor. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Enjoy: Use this creamy salsa dressing immediately on salads, tacos, bowls, or as a topping for your favorite protein. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, where it will thicken further over time, improving the texture and flavor.
Notes
- The dressing thickens as it chills, so adjust thickness by adding a little water or lime juice if desired.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess; low-fat options may alter texture.
- Customize spice levels by adjusting smoked paprika and cumin quantities.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
