Deliciously Simple Garlic Cilantro Dressing

When we road trip to southern California, the kids always get excited to see Disneyland…their cousins…the beach. I get excited to eat. Burgers from In-N-Out and these dense, glazed lemon poppyseed muffins from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Chicken from El Pollo Loco. Our first home had an El Pollo Loco a block away, and we went all the time, and oh how I miss it here in Colorado!

On our last California trip, I had the best burrito there, smothered in this really yummy cilantro sauce. And while I’m pretty sure I can’t make their chicken just right at home, I can make their sauce.

I did a lot of experimenting with the recipes I found online when I got home. They all called for at least a cup of mayonnaise, so I swapped some of that out for Greek yogurt. And I added way more cilantro and garlic, because there is no such thing as too much cilantro, amiright? So I guess you’d call this an El Pollo Loco-Inspired Dressing rather than it being the exact same thing.
