This Cilantro Lime Dip is delicious served with tortilla chips and margaritas, or used as a flavorful topping on fish, chicken, or burgers! This dip is completely addictive and perfect for parties or picnics...or just make a batch all for yourself!
WARNING! This dip is completely addictive! I can't stop eating it. I rue the day I had the idea to make a dip perfect for serving with tortilla chips and margaritas. This recipe turned out better than I ever imagined it would be!
Not only is it amazing with tortilla chips, but just try putting it on a fish sandwich, baked chicken, or even a burger. YUM! This stuff adds incredible flavor to just about anything you can think of.
Today I added a couple of tablespoons to a big bowl of lettuce, tossed it around to coat all the leaves, and enjoyed a super-yummy salad. I might have to do that again tomorrow!
This would be a perfect appetizer to serve at a Cinco de Mayo party, but actually I think this is going to become an all-around summer staple for us. Next time we head up to the lake house, we are bringing a big bowl of this dip to share with all our friends.
I can imagine relaxing with a Corona, munching some chips with this Cilantro Lime Dip, while hanging out on the boat in the bright, warm sunshine!
