Ingredients

For the sauce

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1/2 jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped, adjust for spice)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

• In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise until smooth.

🥄 Using Greek yogurt gives the sauce a creamy texture while adding a healthy twist. If you prefer a lighter version, opt for low-fat yogurt.

• Add the lime juice, lime zest, honey, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño. Stir well to combine.

• Season with salt and pepper to taste.

🌶️ If you like it spicier, add more jalapeño or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to kick it up a notch!

• Let the sauce sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

⏳ You can make this sauce a day in advance for even better flavor development. Just store it in an airtight container.

Variations

• Creamy Avocado: Blend in half an avocado for a richer, creamier sauce. This gives a lovely green color and adds healthy fats. 🥑
• Spicy Kick: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra punch of flavor!
• Herb Swap: Experiment with different fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or mint for unique twists on flavor.
• Dairy-free: Substitute the yogurt and mayonnaise with a dairy-free alternative like cashew cream or coconut yogurt for a vegan option!

Enjoy your zesty fish taco sauce with your favorite fish, crunchy veggies, and warm tortillas! 🥳🌮
