Mayonnaise – Like the sour cream, mayonnaise adds to the creamy-tangy theme of the sauce.
Cilantro – Cilantro is the only herb added to the sauce and is the main flavor component.
Lime Juice – Lime juice adds some acidity to the sauce.
Garlic – Since the recipe is so simple, just one garlic clove is all you need to add that savory element to this recipe. Since it’s raw garlic, it also has a slightly spicy, pungent aroma to it.
