I love this recipe. Came back again today to remake it and share some with a friend.

Had to adjust seasonings this time. Never had to before. If my first taste had been today’s version, I would have never known. After adjusting the seasoning by taming the garlic and salt with a couple small pinches of raw sugar brought everything back into balance.

Ty!!! Glad to find a couple tweaks bringing my old recipe friend back into my world.

However, as written and made, this recipe is TOO SALTY. Even after chilling a few hours, and then overnight… Still too much sodium. WOOF!!!!!
Without any more cilantro or other fresh herbs in our home, we “saved it” by blitzing it again with 2 cups of spinach, and 2 cups of arugula along with rice vinegar, lemon zest, the juice of one lemon, two more tablespoons of oil, and adding chipotle powder, cardamom, and cumin again to taste. We have saved this recipe to do it up another time, but have noted to begin with 1/4 tsp of salt, and maaaaybe use 1/2 tsp tops.

Are you sure the salt quantity is correct? Anyone making this recipe, I would use 1/2 the amount of salt required and then add the rest later if you think it needs it.

I discovered it at Trader Joe’s, and in no time it was my favorite go to sauce, on a variety of dishes. Your list added a couple ideas for me to try, thanks!

Usually love your recipes though!
