Prepared in under 5 minutes, my cilantro garlic sauce is incredibly creamy and bursting with flavor. With lime juice and sour cream, this vibrant blend effortlessly comes together using only your food processor. Perfect as a topping for steak, tacos or grilled chicken dishes.
The process to make this recipe is relatively simple. For starters, gather all of the ingredients listed above. Wash the cilantro and rough chop it.
Add all ingredients to a food processor, and beat until the sauce is well combined. It should have a buttery cream texture and have a dominating flavor of cilantro and garlic in particular.
Lastly, check to see if the salt is as per your liking. Add more if not.Cheers! Your fresh and flavourful sauce is ready to be served.
Notes
Picking out fresh and green cilantro is key to this recipe. So here are some tips for the same. Always look for the cilantro, which has radiant green leaves, and none of them should appeal to be dry or wilting. It should be fragrant with a lemon scent. Some even call this scent ‘near soapy’.
I highly recommend using a good quality full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for the best results.
Whilst prepping the cilantro, of course, you will wash and chop it. Make sure you dry the cilantro before tossing it into the food processor. The extra water won’t add much flavour but will make the sauce watery.
