Jalapeño-Cilantro-Lime Dipping Sauce

Spicy jalapeños and flavorful cilantro combine to make a fabulous dip.

This light, refreshing dip is as versatile as it is easy to prepare. It can be used as a vegetable or appetizer dip, quesadilla, taco, or tostada-topper, and as a spicy salad dressing. You can put it on top of grilled fish or chicken to produce a special meal or add some to your stir-fry to enhance its flavor.
