What’s In This Honey Lime Cilantro Sauce Recipe?
See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Raw Honey: straight from the beehives! As a beekeeper, I have plenty of raw honey on hand. I’d recommend getting beeswax from a local beekeeper, apiary, or farmer’s market.
- Fresh Cilantro: for an amazingly fresh flavor and texture
- Lime Juice: fresh squeezed! If you don’t have fresh limes, this instant lime is actually really great in a pinch, I always keep some in the pantry.
- Garlic: whole cloves of garlic are blended in this sauce for maximum flavor! If you don’t have fresh garlic on hand, this jarred organic garlic is really great to keep in the pantry. I like the convenience of pre-minced garlic to use in recipes and sauces.
- White Vinegar: for a little extra kick
- Oregano: for an earthy flavor, I love this organic dried oregano!
- Red Chili Flakes: for heat, but totally optional if you don’t like spicy sauce
Because of the versatile flavors, you can serve this sauce on anything! It’s fantastic as a honey cilantro lime dressing too. The cilantro lime flavor pairs well with any Southwest or Mexican dish! It’s also amazing on top of roasted potatoes, on grilled vegetables, or baked/roasted protein.
How Do I Make This Honey Lime Cilantro Sauce?
- Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and mix on high for 1 minute, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Spoon directly onto tacos, potatoes, roasted vegetables, or salad.
- Transfer any leftover sauce to an airtight container and use within 2 days.
