Method
 

  1. Blend the garlic and jalapeño in a food processor until finely chopped.

Notes

Variations:
More Flavors: Feel free to add more flavors by adding cilantro, cumin, or hot sauce to your liking!
Higher Calorie: Replace up to half of the coconut milk yogurt with vegan mayonnaise. Keep in mind that this may increase the sodium so we recommend decreasing the salt to 1/8 teaspoon if using vegan mayonnaise.
