    The perfect chicken wing dipping sauce

    Replace your ranch dip with this tasty indian inspired condiment! A mix of cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and cream make this a great dipping sauce for chicken wings. This quick and easy dip is a variation of a condiment commonly found at Indian Restaurants known as raita. It pairs well with pakora, wraps, or anything you may want to dip in ranch dressing.

    Jalapeno Cilantro Sauce

    This is a flavorful dipping sauce that pairs well with meats, veggies, sandwiches, and even salads as a dressing. A variation of this sauce is available at most Indian or Middle Eastern restaurants, which is where the flavors might take you back to. It has always been a childhood favorite of mine with chicken wings, lamb chops, pakora, and kebabs. Now I am sharing the easy sauce recipe with you.


    Goes well with EVERYTHING!

    Ingredients for Jalapeno Cilantro Sauce

    1. cilantro, fresh
    2. garlic, fresh
    3. jalapeno, fresh
    4. salt
    5. sour cream, yogurt, or mayonnaise (substitutions)

    Can I make a vegan dipping sauce?

    Yes! My favorite vegan alternative for mayonnaise is Follow Your Heart Soy Free Mayonnaise. It tastes great with this recipe and practically anything else. Be sure to purchase the right kind, since the other variations do not seem to taste the same.

    If you are okay with eating dairy, then it tastes best with sour cream! 


    What can I serve with Jalapeno Cilantro Sauce?

    Any dish that needs a little bit of a spice to it. We enjoy using this dip as a condiment with dishes that are a bit on the bland side such as yellow rice, masala rice, or even grilled chicken wings dipping sauce. Try it with these recipes...

    1. masala chicken wings
    2. grilled cilantro chicken wings
    3. masala rice
    4. lamb chops
    5. Chicken Kebabs
