·204 words·1 min
Table of Contents

A vivid green crema that goes on everything from shredded chuck roast to cowboy caviar. The dulse replaces salt entirely. The optional spirulina turns it an even deeper green and adds phycocyanin and iron for zero meaningful calories.

Why these ingredients
Dulse flakes replace salt entirely while delivering iodine, potassium, and iron. Spirulina (optional) adds phycocyanin and iron – turns the crema a vivid green. Both are Walford-approved functional ingredients that disappear into the flavor profile.

Ingredients
#

  • 1 cup Chobani zero sugar plain Greek yogurt
  • Large handful fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 jalapeno, seeds removed (for mild)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dulse flakes
  • 1/2 tsp spirulina (optional)
  • 1/8 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions
#

  1. Add yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, and dulse flakes to a Vitamix.
  2. Add spirulina now if using.
  3. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Add 1/8 tsp xanthan gum. Blend briefly for squeeze-bottle consistency.
  5. Transfer to a squeeze bottle. Refrigerate.

Storage
#

Keeps 5 days refrigerated. The lime juice helps preserve color but the cilantro will dull slightly after day 3.
