Authentic Pollo Tropical Cilantro Garlic Sauce Recipe


  • Author: Skyar
  • Total Time: 5 minutes (plus chilling time)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (packed)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance flavors)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and dry the cilantro leaves. Peel and mince the garlic. Measure out all the ingredients so they’re ready for blending.

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, add the cilantro, garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. Blend until smooth.

Step 3: Add the Olive Oil
While blending, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help emulsify the sauce, giving it a smooth, creamy consistency.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tanginess or more garlic for a stronger flavor.

Step 5: Store and Chill
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
