SPICY LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Serve this dipping sauce with our Coconut Almond Rice and grilled shrimp.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories Food & Cooking Healthy Recipes Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion
2 teaspoons thinly sliced serrano chile
1 small garlic clove, minced

Steps:

In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients. Let stand at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Tips:

To achieve the best flavor, use fresh limes. If you only have bottled lime juice, add a bit more zest to compensate for the lack of fresh lime flavor.
Adjust the amount of serrano pepper to your preferred spice level. Remove the seeds and ribs of the pepper to reduce the heat.
If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari. However, fish sauce adds a unique savory flavor to the sauce, so if you can find it, it's worth using.
Feel free to add other ingredients to the sauce to taste. Some popular additions include chopped cilantro, garlic, or ginger.
The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

This spicy lime dipping sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for spring rolls, summer rolls, grilled meats, or seafood. The sauce is also great as a marinade or dressing. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meal, give this spicy lime dipping sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
