Author: Nicolette Wax
Cost: $2.14 per recipe / $0.54 per serving

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cilantro leaves stems can be used ($0.24)
  • 1 jalapeno roughly chopped, remove seeds and ribs for less heat ($0.33)
  • 2 limes juiced ($0.66)
  • ½ cup sour cream regular or dairy-free ($0.86)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt ($0.02)
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder ($0.03)

Instructions

  • Add cilantro leaves, jalapeno, and lime juice to a food processor. Blend on low until finely chopped, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Add vegan sour cream, kosher salt, and onion powder. Pulse again until well combined.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 1 cup and a serving is about 2 tablespoons. If you want to use more sauce (I regularly do) or are feeding more people, double the recipe.
