This makes EVERYTHING delicious. We eat it on fish (especially salmon), chicken, vegetables, bread...the combination of cool and spicy is great and it's so easy to make

wonderful flavor. i used lemons instead of limes. it is a little too thin. Next time I will stir(not blend) some more sour cream. We are having this with cedar salmon!

    I won't rate this, since maybe I did something wrong, given all of the good reviews it's gotten. Maybe I used too much or not enough cilantro. Perhaps the recipe should give a more specific amount, because I followed the recipe exactly as written with no changes whatsoever. Honestly, I don't know why this didn't work, but it was the worst thing I have ever made with cilantro. I was sad that I wasted some of my home grown cilantro on this recipe.

    I originally reviewed this recipe and gave it only 4 stars, but....The next day I tried some of this sauce with my steak and it was very good, the flavor had intensified over night. The day I made it to be honest, I couldnt really taste the cilantro, I think the sauce should be made in advance to get the benefit of all the flavors. Thanks for this recipe.

    This sauce has such a fresh taste! I used it on salmon on the bbq adding the sauce toward the end of cooking.
