This Creamy Cilantro Sauce is a delicious low-carb dip for salads, taco bowls, chips, or fresh cut veggies! It’s super cheesy, tangy, and perfectly balanced with just a bit of spicy from the jalapeño.
It also makes a great dip for wings. Consider this an all-purpose magic sauce, the sky's the limit for what you can use it for! It only takes a few minutes to prepare this high-fat sauce and you can keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
