Creamy Cilantro Sauce (Protein Packed)

One of those sauces that makes “basic” food taste like you tried. I use this all the time, i actually need a break from it & switch to _________.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayo
  
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1/3 bunch cilantro
• 1/2 red pepper
• 1/2 yellow pepper
• 1 medium garlic clove
• 1 tsp sriracha (optional, but the heat is worth it)
• Blend → Chill → Drizzle. ✅

Fast: 5 minutes, no cooking

Balanced: creamy, fresh, and not heavy

Meal-prep friendly: keeps well for quick lunches

Versatile: dressing, dip, drizzle, spread

How to make it (5 minutes)

1. Chop the peppers into smaller pieces (helps your blender).
2. Add everything to a blender or food processor.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Taste and adjust:
5. want it tangier → a little more mustard
6. want it thinner → 1–2 tsp water at a time
7. want it spicier → extra sriracha
8. Chill 10–15 minutes if you can (flavor gets better).

Best ways to use it (aka: how people get obsessed)

• Wraps: chicken wraps, salmon wraps, crispy tofu wraps
• Bowls: rice bowls, salad bowls, burrito bowls
• Tacos: shrimp, chicken, or veggie tacos
• Dip: fries, veggies, chips, air-fried anything
• Breakfast: eggs, breakfast burritos, avocado toast

If you’re here because you saw the video—this is the same “drizzle that makes it taste restaurant-y.”

Pro tips (tiny details that make it so good)

Garlic clove size matters: start with 1 medium—garlic gets stronger as it sits.

Cilantro stems are okay: they add extra flavor (just avoid the thickest ends).

Storage

• Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for 3–5 days.
• Stir before using (it settles a bit—normal).

Make it your way (easy swaps)

• No mayo? Do all Greek yogurt (it’ll be more tangy/lean).
• No cilantro? Try parsley + a squeeze of lemon (different vibe, still fresh).
• Extra bright: add a squeeze of lemon or lime if you love zing.
