Comments
Every ingredient is a standard stock item at any Charlotte grocer—no special trips needed. At roughly 30 cents per serving, this is exceptionally cheap, driven by the fact that you're buying what you already keep on hand. The five-minute claim is honest for a sauce that is literally chopped herbs whisked together, and it works as a condiment for fish, chicken, or rice rather than a standalone dish, making it deeply practical for weeknight cooking. The only minor drawback is that fresh parsley and lime are freshest within a few days, so you cannot batch this far ahead, but for a quick sauce it reheats fine or tastes better at room temperature.
