Equipment

  • 1 food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 3 green onions
  • 2 serrano peppers
  • 2 medium limes (juiced)
  • 1 garlic cloves
  • 2 small avocados
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Rinse your veggies and remove unwanted stems, pits, or peels.
  • Add cilantro, green onions, and serranos into the food processor or blender. Squeeze the juice out of your limes and add to food processor along with garlic, avocados, sour cream, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Give the cilantro cream sauce a taste and add more salt if necessary. Store in a mason jar and enjoy!

Notes

  • I like to add my cilantro stems and all, but you can trim off the stems if that's your preference.
  • Sometimes I like to finish off my creamy cilantro lime sauce with a little splash of pickled jalapeno juice to give it an extra little kick.
  • If you want to thin the sauce you can mix in a little water.
  • This sauce should keep in the fridge for about one week, but I'm confident that you'll have no problem using it all up by then.
