Cilantro Sauce
This recipe is so easy to make and a great way to use up fresh herbs in your fridge. Obviously, this recipe calls for cilantro. I know cilantro is something people either love or hate. If you are making this recipe, I hope you loveeeeee cilantro. If you aren't a fan of the herb, you can substitute the cilantro for another fresh herb you enjoy. You can use basil or parsley instead.
This sauce screams summer and is absolutely perfect with any BBQ meat or veggies. Honestly, you can add this sauce to any protein, side or veggie. I recently added it to my Air Fryer Salmon.
