Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

    So delicious and so easy to make. I served with Chicken braised with apricots & harissa but it would go with so many things.

  • ch_cmh on April 13, 2026

    I used the pickled Thai chilis because I didn't have other peppers. Fantastic, will make again and again.

  • Detheria on April 09, 2026

    This is a phenomenal sauce. Make it.

    I regularly make a cilantro lime dressing when we want kind of a taco salad vibe, but my husband commented that this one was way better. I like that it’s flavorful, but also neutral enough that you could pair with many different cuisines. (as someone who tries to cook with a little less oil, the recipe still worked substituting in aquafaba for a 2/3 of the olive oil)

    I made with two Serrano chilis. I seeded one and left one whole and it was blow your head off spicy. I tamed it down with more greens. Maybe I got an extra hot pepper. Next time I will seed both of the peppers.

    Love this sauce as is and also mixed with Greek yogurt to make a creamy salad dressing

    As a non cilantro lover this was great. I used 2 raw Serranos with seeds and chili vinegar. Specifically made it for harissa and apricots served braised chicken but will eat it on lots including eggs and enchiladas this week. I used an immersion blender in a mason jar and it was super easy!

    Tasty! Added a lot more salt for our taste but was great with eggs and potatoes

  • rmardel on December 23, 2025

    This sauce is fabulous and very easy to pull together with pantry ingredients. I could eat it on almost everything.

    This sauce is delicious! I made a half batch and I wish I'd made more to have on hand to eat with everything. I was initially cautious with my serrano chile, and ended up adding more because the sauce seemed to need more spiciness to balance the sugar. The pickled Thai chiles might help with that if you used them.

    I would take a bath in this sauce.

    A great complement to the chicken braised with apricots and harissa, pg. 302. I made half and it was plenty.
