It is perfect for spreading on crusty bread, drizzling over grilled vegetables, or serving as a cooling accompaniment to spicy dishes. Quick to whip up and utterly delicious, this vegan-friendly sauce brings a burst of fresh flavor to any meal, making it a versatile addition to your kitchen repertoire for everyday cooking or entertaining.

Note

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent browning.

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of garlic or lime juice to suit your preference.

If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or extra olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
