Cilantro Sauce

Written By yvette jemison

My Cilantro Sauce is one of my favorite “make it once, use it all week” recipes. Drizzle it over grilled meats or roasted veggies, mix it into mayo for sandwiches, or add a spoonful to your eggs for a Tex-Mex twist. It’s bright, tangy, and especially good on grilled corn or alongside grilled meats, like the fajitas on page 43 in My South Texas Kitchen. It even works as a quick marinade for chicken or beef. Keep it on hand as it easily doubles as a marinade for chicken or beef. If you make this recipe share your photo with me on Instagram at y_delicacies. I’d love to see what you’re making.
