Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather all fresh and refrigerated ingredients — sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, lime, and garlic.
- Combine in food processor: Place sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, garlic clove, and salt into a small food processor.
- Blend until smooth: Pulse and blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth and creamy sauce, ensuring no large pieces of cilantro or garlic remain.
- Use or store: Use the sauce immediately for the best freshness, or transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Shake or stir before serving: Before each use, gently shake or stir the sauce to redistribute any separation that may occur over time.
Notes
- Shake or stir the sauce before each use as separation may occur.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with tacos, grilled vegetables, and as a salad dressing base.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream with a dairy-free alternative and use vegan mayonnaise.
