Cilantro Lime Jalapeño Sauce is a vibrant, creamy sauce that combines fresh cilantro, zesty lime juice, spicy jalapeños, garlic, and a smooth base such as mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, or sour cream. Bursting with fresh herbaceous flavor and a hint of heat, this versatile sauce is a favorite for tacos, grilled meats, sandwiches, wraps, and salads.

The bright citrus notes from lime perfectly complement the fresh cilantro and mild heat of jalapeños, creating a balanced sauce that's both refreshing and flavorful. Whether used as a dip, dressing, or spread, this homemade sauce adds a delicious finishing touch to a wide variety of dishes.

Cooking Method

Wash the cilantro thoroughly and pat dry.
Remove the stems from the jalapeños if desired.
Add the cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning or lime juice as needed.
If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer to a clean jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
