  • 5-ingredient Coconut Lime Marinade

    This multipurpose marinade is excellent for tofu, chickpeas, and rice. If you swing with the meat crowd, it’s also a great sauce for chicken breasts or thighs. I want to call this a curry sauce, but I also don’t want to scare any of you away. Don’t be fooled by the yellow colour –…
