Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro Use stems and leaves for maximum flavor.
  • 2 medium Limes Provides acidity; can substitute with bottled lime juice.
  • 1 small Jalapeño Adjust according to desired heat; remove seeds for milder sauce.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Use fresh cloves for the best taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all ingredients: fresh cilantro, limes, jalapeños, garlic, and mayonnaise. Rinse the cilantro and pat it dry.
  2. Chop the stems and leaves of the cilantro coarsely and add them to the blender. Cut the jalapeños, remove seeds for milder flavor, and add them.
  3. Squeeze the limes into the blender, then add the mayonnaise. This combo is crucial for the desired flavor.
  4. Blend on high until smooth, about 30-60 seconds, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  5. Check the sauce’s thickness; if too thick, add a splash of water or extra lime juice and blend briefly.
  6. Transfer the sauce into a squeeze bottle or airtight jar, chill for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
