Cilantro-Cumin Dip image

Use this bright green, earthy mix as a dip for crudités or a dressing for heartier salad greens like radicchio, spinach, arugula, thinly sliced fennel, or a combination. It's also terrific as a dressing, drizzled on a simple roasted or grilled chicken, meats or fish.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I really liked this dip. The cumin and Greek yogurt balance out the cilantro flavor really well.

This dip was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of cumin. Other than that, it was a really good dip.
