Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 bunch of cilantro (stems removed)
- 4 jalapeño peppers (stems removed, seeds optional)
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Remove the stems from the cilantro and jalapeños. For a milder dip, remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeños; keep them aside if you want to adjust heat later.
- Combine Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, add the cilantro, jalapeños (with seeds per your desired spice level), softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, minced garlic, white vinegar, and salt.
- Blend to Perfection: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Spice Level: Taste the dip and if you prefer more heat, blend in additional jalapeño seeds or an extra pepper. For milder flavor, add more yogurt or cream cheese to cool it down.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and chill if desired. Serve with sliced bell peppers, halved sweet mini peppers, or crispy tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- For a milder dip, remove veins and seeds from jalapeños before blending.
- You can adjust the heat easily by adding seeds back gradually to the dip.
- If dip is too spicy, mellow it by mixing in extra yogurt or cream cheese.
- Try adding red pepper flakes for an extra spicy kick.
- Perfect for parties or as a fresh snack dip.
