- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt

- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the fresh green chilies under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Cut off the tops of the chilies and slice them in half lengthwise. For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and membranes; otherwise, leave them in for extra heat.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to a food processor along with the sliced chilies.
Step 4
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, water, and ground cumin to the food processor.
Step 5
Process all ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your taste preferences.
Step 7
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the chili sauce as a topping or dipping sauce with your favorite Paleo dishes.
