  2. Chop 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
  3. Add 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin to the bowl.
  4. Stir all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more lime juice for tartness, soy sauce for saltiness, or sugar for sweetness).
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips or enjoy as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. For best flavor, allow to sit for at least 1 hour before serving.
