Description

Our creamy, zesty Cilantro Lime Sauce is perfect for tacos, chicken, seafood, salads, and burrito bowls. It’s fresh, quick, and packed with flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup cilantro (finely chopped – leaves and stems)
  • ¾ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • ½ tsp lime zest
  • 3 tbs lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbs garlic (finely chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry cilantro before placing on a cutting board.
  2. Roughly chop the cilantro. Make sure to chop the stems so they don’t wrap around the blender blades.
  3. Add cilantro, sour cream, lime zest, garlic, sea salt, cumin, and lime juice to a small bowl.
  4. Using an immersion blender, blend all ingredients until smooth.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to give the flavors of sauce time to meld.
  6. Serve over your favorite grilled meats, tacos, or salads.
