  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter * homemade or store-bought

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • pinch of dried oregano

  • Serve. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use in your favorite recipe and enjoy!

Notes

Natural peanut butter note: If you don't have natural peanut butter on hand, you are welcome to use traditional store-bought peanut butter.  Or you can use whole peanuts instead by adding 1 cup of peanuts to your food processor or blender, purée with the diced tomatoes and lime juice until the mixture is fairly smooth, and then add the remaining ingredients.
Storage instructions: Transfer to a food storage container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
