Easy to Make Cilantro Lime Sauce

A refreshing blend of lime and cilantro make this sauce a standout. For those who are looking for an alternative to classic condiments like ketchup and mayonnaise, or dressings like a thousand island dressing and Italian dressing, the cool combination of lime and cilantro will be a welcome addition to your homemade meals. 

I originally made this sauce for my Baja Fish Tacos but now I serve it with everything!  Serve Cilantro Lime Sauce on salads, on fajitas, over grilled fish, grilled burgers, and with Shrimp Tacos.

How to make Cilantro Lime Sauce

In the blender, pulse the cilantro with the lime juice, sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, garlic powder, and salt, and purée until smooth. Taste, adjusting seasoning with more salt or lime juice. That's it....easy peasy!
