Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pulse ingredients in batches if your blender struggles; do not overmix or the sauce will become too thin.
Use fresh cilantro and lime juice for brightness; bottled lime loses its vibrant flavor quickly.
Taste and adjust salt and cumin to your preference before serving—these spices can dominate if over-measured.
Add ice cubes last and pulse gently to maintain a creamy, textured consistency rather than a smooth purée.
