Instructions
Begin by gathering all of your ingredients and a high-speed blender.
Into the blender, add 1 cup of coconut milk. It’s important to shake the can well before opening to ensure it’s mixed well.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. This should be roughly the juice of one lime.
Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to help emulsify the sauce.
For acidity, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
Sweeten the sauce slightly by adding 1 tablespoon of honey.
To season, add 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin and smoked paprika for a boost of flavor.
Finally, add 0.5 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, such as adding more salt for flavor balance.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve as a condiment for meats, salads, or vegetables. Enjoy your Paleo Chipotle Southwest Sauce!
