Cilantro Sauce

Cilantro Sauce is a bright green condiment commonly used in Latin American and South Asian cuisines as a sauce or dip for tacos, grilled meats, fish and as a table sauce. It’s known for its fresh cilantro/coriander flavor, tang from citrus or vinegar, and creamy texture from oil, mayonnaise or other fat sources. Nutritionally, Cilantro Sauce is an energy-dense, high-fat sauce with about 60.2g of fat per 100g, so it’s typically used in small amounts; it also contributes notable amounts of vitamin K and vitamin C and can supply some omega‑3s depending on the recipe. From a health perspective, it provides useful micronutrients and flavorful fat that can help with absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins, but because of its high calorie and sodium content it’s best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for lighter cilantro-based dressings when you want to reduce calories or saturated fat.
