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.
