Cilantro Garlic Sauce

This sauce is the culinary equivalent of a bear hug for your taste buds. Creamy, zesty, and with just the right amount of garlic, it’s perfect for drizzling on tacos, slathering on grilled veggies, or just eating straight from the jar (we won’t judge!).

Ingredients

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced (or more if you’re feeling bold!)
½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice (because who doesn’t love a citrus twist?)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for those who like it spicy!

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped cilantro and minced garlic. Pulse it a few times until it looks like a green confetti party in there!
Add in your Greek yogurt or sour cream (whichever floats your boat), lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, and allow the flavors to mingle like old friends at a reunion.
If you’re going for a little extra kick, toss in those red pepper flakes and blend again. Taste-test to see if it needs more lime or seasoning. Remember, this is your sauce, you’re the boss!
Once you’ve got that perfect blend, transfer it to a jar or an airtight container. This sauce can hang out in the fridge for up to a week, but let’s be honest—you’ll probably gobble it up long before then!

There you have it! A delightful Cilantro Garlic Sauce that can elevate any dish from mundane to magnificent. Now go forth and slather this green goodness on everything in sight. Your taste buds will thank you later!
