Every once in a while, I go on a quest for the perfect recipe. Not too long ago, I was obsessed with finding the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe (I'll post that another day)! Several pounds later, and requests from my family to quit making them my royal tasters, I found it...the go-to, perfect vanilla cupcake!
I said all that to say that I have tried umpteen (southern word for lots and lots) recipes for a good cilantro-lime sauce to serve on fish tacos. What I found and tweaked is a recipe that I literally could eat by the spoonful! And it is easy to make too! Grab your food processor and let's get started!
CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2-4 large garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons light mayonnaise
6 tablespoons light sour cream
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons fresh lime rind, grated
3 teaspoons fresh lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend until it is smooth.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
This makes approximately 1-1/2 cups
Chop green onions |
Add Garlic (you can chop it instead of mincing) to processor |
Add green onions and cilantro |
Love this kitchen gadget |
The little wooden citrus reamer makes this job easy! |
This recipe uses light ingredients but doesn't taste like it! |
Start with about 1/2 teaspoon and then add more if you like! |
I filled my pepper grinder with these little jewels! (sorry for the close up of my badly-in-need-of-a-manicure hand) |
This machine is priceless in the kitchen! |
So yummy and the lime and cilantro taste so fresh!! ENJOY!!! |

Have you thought of your own cook book?
My family wants to do one! It would be so convenient to have them all in one book!
