Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salsa look for an all-natural brand or use the fresh stuff from the deli section
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain, full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro or parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients until combined. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning to your preferences.
Notes
- This will keep for a week in the fridge. Do not freeze.
- Similar to our Homemade Ranch Dip, this dressing tastes better after sitting for a few hours, so it's best to make it ahead.
- My favorite salsa for this recipe is Mateo's medium salsa.
- This makes enough dressing for about 4-6 dinner salads or 8 side salads.
