Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Cilantro (stems and all)
- 1-2 Limes (juiced)
- 1-2 Jalapeño (stem removed)
- 5-10 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Mayonnaise (Hellman's or Duke's preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the cilantro thoroughly, including stems, and remove the stems if desired for a smoother texture. Juice 1 to 2 limes depending on your taste preference. Remove stems from jalapeños and adjust the quantity based on your desired spice level. Peel 5 to 10 cloves of garlic based on your preferred garlic intensity.
- Blend the Sauce: Add all the prepared ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring all the garlic and jalapeño are well incorporated for an even flavor throughout.
- Transfer and Store: Pour the blended sauce into a squeeze bottle or airtight container. Refrigerate if not using immediately. This sauce can be used right away or chilled to let the flavors meld more deeply.
- Serve and Enjoy: Use this sauce as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, salads, roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful dip. Enjoy the fresh, creamy, garlicky, and tangy taste on everything!
Notes
- Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your desired spice tolerance.
- For a thinner sauce, add a little water or lime juice while blending.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best tangy flavor; bottled lime juice may alter the taste.
- Store the sauce refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Mayonnaise choice impacts flavor; traditional Hellman’s or Duke’s works best for creaminess and richness.
