Notes
The mixing method tends to result in a thicker sauce, while the blending method results in a thinner/runnier texture.
If you plan on using the sauce as a dip, you may consider the mixing method. If you plan on using it to drizzle over food or as a salad dressing, the blender method may be best!
Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice in this recipe to your own personal taste and desired texture.
I recommend starting with 1 Tablespoon of the lime juice, then adding more as needed/to taste!
