Description
This vegan cilantro mint yogurt sauce gives any dish a bright and punchy herbal flavor. Simply add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend to your desired consistency! It’s ready in just 5 minutes and is an easy way to perk up abundance bowls, roasted veggies, sandwiches, and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 cup of fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 small serrano pepper, roughly chopped
- 1 small shallot, roughly chopped
- 1 5–ounce container plain vegan yogurt (this one is my favorite)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup, or honey if you eat it
- sea salt, to taste
Instructions
Roughly cut the leaves off the bunch of cilantro and add them to a blender or food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Add pinch of salt and blend to your desired consistency. I prefer it smooth but you can leave it chunkier if you like! Once blended, taste your sauce and add more salt as needed.
Store your sauce in an airtight container in your fridge and make sure to use it within a week.
Notes
- If you don’t care for the taste of cilantro, you can substitute a bunch of parsley or basil!
- You can control the heat level of the sauce by how many seeds from the serrano pepper you add. If you want it mild, make sure to cut the flesh of the pepper away from the seeds, adding only the flesh to the sauce.
