Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Cilantro Use both stems and leaves for best flavor.
  • 2-3 tablespoons Lime juice Fresh limes are ideal.
  • 1 medium Jalapeño Remove seeds for a milder sauce.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh cloves provide robust flavor.
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise Greek yogurt can be a lighter option.

Equipment

  • high-speed blender
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • squeeze bottle or airtight container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash 1 cup of fresh cilantro under cold water, then roughly chop it, including both stems and leaves for maximum flavor.
  2. Slice one jalapeño and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce. Peel two cloves of garlic and squeeze juice from two fresh limes, aiming for about 2-3 tablespoons.
  3. In your high-speed blender or food processor, add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and garlic. Follow with ½ cup of mayonnaise. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth.
  4. Check the consistency of the sauce; if too thick, add a splash of water or an extra squeeze of lime juice. Blend for an additional 10 seconds.
  5. Once blended, pour the sauce into a clean squeeze bottle or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month, but use within a week for best flavor.
