Who loves easy, quick, flavorful recipes?!

If that’s you, then stick around because 5 Ingredient Mint Cilantro Chutney is here for the best kind of midweek pick-me-up!

With only FIVE ingredients, this chutney is going to go straight to the top of your sauce/dip/marinade list. Puree mint, cilantro, ginger, garlic and lime juice together… then add in a little water and salt (kitchen basics, so if you’re ok with it we’re not counting it in our “five” ingredients). Oh, and if you want a little extra kick, sometimes I throw a Serrano pepper in the mix.
