Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk (or blender/food processor in case you want to make it creamier)
- Citrus juicer (convenient to use fresh lime)
- Measuring spoons & cups
- A container or an Airtight jar to store in.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise good quality is a point
- 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- 2 cloves minced or grated garlic.
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder add to taste
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: half a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce to make it hotter.
- Fresh cilantro chopped fine to garnish or to mix in
Instructions
- Combine the sour cream and the mayonnaise in a medium mixing bowl and whisk together. This provides the creamy texture to the sauce.
- Add the minced garlic, lime juice, and olive oil. Whisk till thoroughly mixed.
- Add smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Whisk until the sauce appears smooth, and the spices are completely combined.
- Dip a spoon in and taste. Prefer it to be spicier, add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce. You can squeeze more lime in, should you desire it to be tangier.
- Put the sauce into a jar, close it, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This is a very important step- it enables the flavours to blend and intensify.
- Serve with grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, or tacos, or simply place it out as a dip. There can be nothing like people buzzing around.
