What To Do With Leftover Sour Cream

By

When a recipe calls for a small amount of sour cream I feel my shoulders slump. For me the thought of having to buy a container of sour cream for 2 tablespoons or even a cup seems like a such a waste; there’s always some leftover. I could substitute it for yogurt but I would be in the same dilemma. And then it occurred to me. Why not make a dressing or dip? It would also make good use of the coriander (cilantro) I had in the fridge.

Step 1


In a bowl add coriander, garlic, lime juice, hot sauce, olive oil, and sour cream.
Use a hand blender and purée to the consistency of your liking. If using as a dressing, you may want to add a bit more olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.
