Making Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce In a Tiny Kitchen

When it comes to clean up, it’s hard to beat this recipe. You’re basically going to end up washing a knife, cutting board, a citrus reamer, bowl, and a spoon. You don’t even need to really measure the ingredients once you make it a few times.

This sauce gets better when it sits, but it’s perfectly delicious right away. If you have the time, it’s a great dip to make about an hour in advance. If I’m going to be serving this with any fried snacks, I usually make it right around when I heat up the oil (or oven). That way by the time all the food is cooked, the flavors had a chance to meld in the fridge. You can make it way in advance and keep it covered in the fridge. I’d give it about 2 days, but beyond that I would question the quality of the cilantro.
