Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
¾ cup Pace medium salsa
¼ cup mayo
2 tablespoons lime juice (plus more to taste)
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend for 15-20 seconds, or until smooth.
1 cup sour cream, ¾ cup Pace medium salsa, ¼ cup mayo, 2 tablespoons lime juice, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Add salt, to taste. Note, consider what you might be serving this with. I add salt until I think it tastes good as a standalone. But you may want to dial back the salt if say, serving with salted tortilla chips.
For super smooth results, strain it after blending.

Notes

I recommend making this a day in advance if you can. I find the flavor intensifies over time, resulting in a creamy, zesty sauce that's bright and bold.
