Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup lime juice freshly squeezed (approx. 2 limes)
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil sub avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine: In a small food processor, add 1 cup fresh cilantro, ⅓ cup lime juice, ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Blend until smooth.
- Marinate: Pour the marinade over your meat of choice and allow to marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours, but not longer).
- Cook: Remove from marinade and cook meat as desired. Discard the marinade.
Notes
- Additional Lime Juice: Feel free to add additional lime juice, if you want the lime flavor to be more intense.
- How long to marinate? It is not recommended to allow meat to marinate in a cilantro-lime marinade for more than 2 hours, as the acid from the lime juice will change the texture of the meat.
