Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce
(I
just threw this in because it’s my favorite sauce to dip chicken or any type of
meatballs in right now!!! IT’S SOOOO GOOD!)
2
TBS plain nonfat Greek yogurt, or you can use nonfat sour cream
1/2
A LIME fresh squeezed into juice, (I also zested the lime and added that! yum!)
1
garlic clove, minced or 1 tsp already minced garlic. You can use more if
you'd like
1/4
teaspoon ground cumin
3
dashes hot sauce if ya like it a little spicy
1/2
cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Mix it all together and DIP WHATEVER YOU WANT IN IT!!!!
* Serving size is 1/4 cup
**** If you're on an em Meal Plan this meal is AWESOME just about any time. Try it for meal #3, #4, or #6. Just remember, If you have the dipping sauce, the yogurt counts as a healthy fat!
