• Add the finely diced spring onions and the olive oil.
• Mix well and add the zest and the half lime juice to control de acidity.
• Try it and add the salt if necessary. If you want it a bit sourer or the sauce is a bit too thick, add the rest of the lime juice.
• The sauce must be kept cold, but it is important to take it out a couple of minutes earlier to serve it with the empanadas.
