Tips and Recommendations
- If you enjoy cilantro and want a smoother sauce I recommend rough dicing the cilantro, including the stems. Add the cilantro and all other ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. This will make the dip both smoother, and add additional cilantro flavor.
- To increase the cilantro flavor you can add additional cilantro to either preparation method.
- This sauce pairs very nicely with pickled red onions.
