Description
A creamy taco salad dressing made in a jar with yogurt, mayo, lime, garlic, and herbs. Quick to blend, no extra dishes, and just as good on wraps, bowls, and grilled chicken as it is on salad.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- handful fresh basil (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (use your favorite or try my homemade taco seasoning)
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add everything to a jar or tall glass (yogurt, mayo, lime juice, garlic, basil, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper).
- Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. You can also do this in a small blender.
- Add a splash of water as needed to loosen it to your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust — more lime for brightness, more salt if needed.
- Use immediately or store in the fridge until ready to use.
Notes
- You can swap the basil for cilantro if you like it — both work, but basil keeps it a little more mellow and works for everyone.
- This dressing is thick right after blending. Add a splash of water to loosen it depending on how you’re using it.
- It keeps well in the fridge for 4-5 days. Give it a quick stir before using.
- Not just for salad — it’s really good on grilled chicken, rice bowls, or as a dip for roasted vegetables.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
