Cilantro Cream

I love cilantro.

I just do. 

I don't feel like I need to justify my love to you or anyone else!  We're meant to be together.  I don't care if many of you don't care for Cilantro.  I don't care what you say! Cilantro does not taste like soap!  It does not taste bitter!

It's perfect.  Fresh and clean tasting with a tiny hint of citrus.

Nothing, NOTHING will make me change my feelings for this lovely green herb. 

I realize that cilantro is a love/hate kind of herb, but I always make sure to incorporate it into any Mexican dish I'm making.  The other day was no exception.  When I decided to make turkey tacos the other night I immediately envisioned a cool and creamy cilantro-based sauce as a finishing touch.

Just a doctored up sour cream, I thought. 

What I ended up with was so much more than "jazzy" sour cream.  Fresh, green and fragrant with the slight tang from a mixture of Greek yogurt and sour cream and a tart finish from fresh lime juice.

Cilantro stole the show. 

Famewhore.



Cilantro Cream

Ingredients

1/2 cup cilantro washed, dried and chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp lime juice (more to taste)
salt and pepper to taste.

Directions

I used my hand blender because I was too lazy to get my food processor out.  It worked perfectly fine, with a few splatters. but that is just because I forgot to take my finger off the button before I readjust.

I never said I was smart.
