Preparation
Combine cilantro, crema, and lime juice in a blender and puree until completely smooth. (Use lime instead of lemon — it's more authentic and pairs better with the cilantro's brightness.)
Season with salt to taste and blend once more to incorporate.

Transfer to refrigerator and let rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
This crema verde is perfect for fish tacos made with fresh tortillas from the tortilleria. The cilantro should be vibrant green — if it's turning yellow or wilted, start over.
