- 3/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 4 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
- Stir together all ingredients with 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), then chill, covered, at least 30 minutes (for flavors to blend). Bring to room temperature before serving.
