This is the Best Sauce

When I tell you this is the BEST SAUCE I’ve ever made – I really mean it’s the BEST SAUCE I’ve ever made! It’s so good, I could seriously eat it with a spoon…and in fact, I actually might have done that.

It has a bright, fresh flavor. It gets its creaminess from mayonnaise and its tanginess from plain Greek yogurt. And it’s so easy to make. I just threw all of the ingredients into my blender and poof – an amazingly delicious sauce.

I served it over marinaded and grilled pork tenderloin skewers, grilled chicken, steak, and vegetables. I even dip my waffle fries in it.

Let’s Make Cilantro Lime Sauce

  • Place all of the ingredients into a blender (including the cilantro stems) and blend until smooth.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  1. In the recipe, I note that you can use the cilantro leaves and the stems. By stems I mean the smaller ones. I would not recommend using the thicker stalks of the cilantro.
  2. Do not use a food processor for this recipe (I know from experience). You need to use a blender so that the cilantro is chopped very fine.
  3. I highly recommend making this at least a day in advance so that the flavors have time to really come together. You can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container or jar for up to four days.
