Bright, tangy, and smoky all at once, this zesty drizzle is the kind of finishing sauce that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Fresh lime juice brings the citrus punch, while ground cumin and smoked paprika add a warm, earthy depth that pairs beautifully with tacos, grain bowls, or a sheet pan of roasted vegetables. Because it's built entirely from pantry spices, olive oil, and fresh citrus, there's nothing here that could sneak in fermented or leavened ingredients — it's naturally free of yeast without any substitutions required. A quick whisk is all it takes to bring the oil and lime juice together into a smooth, cohesive drizzle that clings perfectly to whatever you pour it over. The optional cilantro adds a fresh herbal note that really elevates the whole thing. Keep a jar of this in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
