2 limes, juiced

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cilantro, chopped (leaves and stems)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil

Notes
Tips
- Years and years ago, a cooking class instructor told us to pull the cilantro leaves off and then chop them. I later learned that there is no need to discard the stems as they have lots of flavor, too. So now I wash and dry the cilantro, and then lay the bundle on a cutting board and chop away. I am thrilled to skip that tedious step!
- If you like a spicier sauce, taste once mixed, and then add more chiles or jalapeños as needed.
