Creamy Serrano Sauce

April 6, 2021

I'm someone who will crave a dish specifically for the sauce or condiments that go with it. This sauce has that power, and you can put it on almost anything! I've enjoyed this on roasted and grilled veggies, tacos, nachos, loaded sweet potatoes and veggie bowls. It keeps in the refrigerator for several days, so make it at the beginning of the week and enjoy it with several meals.

Juice from 1 lime
