Ingredients
- 1 cup, loosely packed Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 whole lime Zest of lime
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Rinse the cilantro thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and roughly chop the leaves and tender stems.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it to make it easier to blend.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh cilantro, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, honey, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or honey if needed.
Transfer the sauce to a bowl or jar. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
