Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise see Recipe
  • 1/2 cup crema or sour cream
  • 1 large clove garlic, pressed
  • 2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice tips & tricks
  • 1/2 tsp. lime zest
  • 1 tsp. Old El Paso Taco seasoning see Recipe
  • 1/4 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp. milk, if needed (*see footnote) optional

Directions

  • In a bowl, add all the ingredients except milk. Stir until nicely blended.
  • If using it as a dipping sauce, there’s no need to add the milk. If using it as a salad dressing, stir in milk, a little at a time, until desired consistency.
  • Store in an airtight container and transfer to the fridge. It keeps for up to 3 days.

Notes

Footnote: If using this recipe as a dipping sauce, omit the milk otherwise add some to use it as a dressing.
