Copy-Cat Chuy’s Creamy Jalapeño Cilantro Dip

I was feeling a little uninspired, so I polled Instagram stories for recipe requests, specifically what are your favorite restaurant dishes you want to recreate at home? A couple people said Chuy’s Creamy Jalapeño Cilantro Dip and I knew I had to attempt it! I’m obsessed with the stuff. I wanted to try and make it “healthyish” so I used avocado mayo and nonfat Greek yogurt. It ended up so good! I’ve been eating it all week.. on tacos, fresh cut veggies and chips. I tried this dip with and without the buttermilk, and I personally preferred it without. It ends up being a bit thicker than it usually is in the restaurant, so if you want it more authentic, add the buttermilk. PS: you can make buttermilk at home, just add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring glass and then fill it to the cup line with milk. Stir and let sit for five minutes, and you’ve got buttermilk!
