I shared recently that winter is really getting me down and I need all the bright green foods to counter it, like my Thai Steak Salad. Also, in an attempt to rally against winter, I’ve started ordering iced coffees. It’s still winter but it seems to be helping. Another bright spot has been connecting with friends for meals, beer, playdates. Winter may be overwhelming at times, but connecting with friends makes the cold days pass faster. A food bright spot this winter has been this Cilantro Sauce recipe. It is so easy to make and we are putting it on everything. It can last two weeks in the fridge but it never lasts that long around my family!
Just five simple ingredients! I use one bunch of Cilantro. Keep the leaves and stems on. I just give it a quick rinse under water and throw it into the blender.
The Orange Marmalade is really the secret ingredient. It gives the sauce a sweetness that was able to win over my kids and make a green sauce not so scary.
Just toss everything right into your blender.
Super simple and ready for all your favorite foods! I think we eat poached eggs at least once a week in my house and I love drizzling the Cilantro Sauce on top.
