Paleo Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce
This Paleo Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce is an ideal sauce to whip up during your meal prep so that you have a healthy, flavorful addition to any meal throughout the week.
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- solid coconut cream from 1 13.5 ounce can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice about 2 limes
- 1/3 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves and stems
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor, blender, or smaller bullet-sized smoothie blender. Blend until smooth.
- Note: if the sauce is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of water or lime juice at a time until you have a consistency you like. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
- Store in a sealed container for up to 7 days.
- To serve once chilled through, soften by heating it prior to serving or simply dollop while slightly more solid on warm food for it to melt there.
- Troubleshooting your sauce: if you find that your sauce separates while you make it, simply heat it up slightly (either in the microwave for about 15 seconds or on the stove just until the chill is gone) and stir again. It will come back together!
