Lime Crema
Report
Here's an easy recipe for a zippy version of Lime Crema. If you use yogurt as the base it's worth adding in a bit of fat (mayo or cream) as it will vastly improve the flavor. So good!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt)
- juice of 1 lime (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 Serrano pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- pinch of salt (plus more to taste)
- handful of cilantro (optional)
- splash of water
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and combine well. Add a splash of water if it isn't combining well.
- Taste for seasoning and heat. I added another pinch of salt and another squeeze of lime to this batch.
Notes
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for the mayo. Just keep in mind that adding in a bit of fat (mayo or cream) will give it an instant upgrade in flavor if you use yogurt as the base. For example, a ratio I often use is 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup mayo (or 1 tablespoon heavy cream).
