Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce

July 11, 2017 by Rebecca Rosati

This creamy sauce is so refreshing and easy to make, goes great with tacos or as a salad dressing. 

Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce

I prefer making my own sauces whenever possible:

Many store bought sauces and dressings are filled with preservatives and ingredients I can’t even prononce. By making my own, I know exactly what ingredients I am using. I know life is busy and we can’t always make our own dressings which is why I live by everything in moderation and do my best to eat clean whenever I can. If you make this dressing ahead of time, store in an airtight container or mason jar and keep in refrigerator all week long. It takes more time and a little preparation and planning, but my body thanks me for it!

How to Make Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce:

For this recipe, simply dice a green onion and 1/2 jalapeño pepper, add to food processor with 1/4 cup olive oil, juice of 1 lime, bunch of cilantro, 1/4 tsp salt, dash of pepper and blend. Then add 1/2 cup of light sour cream to food processor and blend until creamy.

If you want the dressing to have more heat, add the whole jalapeño with seeds. To make a thinner sauce for a salad dressing, add more olive oil or a little water.

Cilantro Lime Cabbage Slaw:

I created this cilantro lime cream sauce to flavor cabbage slaw for tacos. Place shredded cabbage in a medium-sized bowl and pour sauce over cabbage, mix until combined and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with my Shrimp Tacos with Grilled Corn.
