Ingredients
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature (slightly softened)
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro, packed
1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice

Method
Mix together butter, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Serve as is or save for later.

Serve with corn-on-the-cob or over your favorite fill-in-the-blank.
