Notes

Best Flavor: Removing the thicker stems from the cilantro before blending can help mellow the flavor. I've found it makes a big difference, especially for those who aren't usually fans of cilantro.
Consistency: If it's too thick, thin it with a splash of water or a little extra lime juice.
Make Ahead: Let it chill for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor. Give it a quick stir before serving.
Lighten It Up: Use light sour cream or swap in plain Greek yogurt.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Stir before serving.
