Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Start by washing and roughly chopping the cilantro. Measure out the lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, and salt.
  • Step 2: Blend the Ingredients - In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, honey, and salt.
  • Step 3: Process Until Smooth - Blend the mixture on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more olive oil or water to reach your desired texture.
  • Step 4: Taste and Adjust - Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You might want to add more lime juice for brightness or a pinch more salt.
  • Step 5: Store and Serve - Transfer the cilantro sauce into a glass jar or airtight container. It can be served immediately or stored in the fridge for up to a week.
