Cilantro Lime Sauce

 


I'm a firm believer that sauces can elevate any dish! While I don’t like cilantro in general, this sauce has become my favorite Mexican sauce. It’s bursting with freshness, generous amounts of cilantro, and zesty lime for a tangy punch. With a hint of chili powder spice and rich creaminess—despite being vegan it checks all the boxes. What more could you ask for?

Ingredients

1/2 cup cashews (soaked for 6 hours)

1/4 cup water

Juice of 2 limes

1/4 cup fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Notes

To speed up the recipe, soak the cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes.

For extra flavor, use the cilantro stems as well as the leaves.

Store the cilantro lime sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week.
