Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spatula
  • Glass Jar

Ingredients
  

  • Mayonnaise 1 Cup
  • Garlic 4 Cloves
  • Cilantro 1/4 Cup
  • Lime Juice 1 Tbsp
  • Olive Oil 1 Tbsp
  • Salt 1/2 Tsp
  • Black Pepper 1/4 Tsp

Instructions
 

  • Peel your fresh garlic cloves carefully. Remove any brown spots from the skin. Smash them slightly to release the oils.
  • Put the mayonnaise into your blender jar. Add the fresh lime juice next. Pour in the olive oil slowly now.
  • Wash your cilantro under cold water. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Put the leaves into the blender.
  • Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Do not add too much salt yet. You can add more later if needed.
  • Turn the blender on a low speed. Increase the speed to high gradually. Blend until the sauce looks very smooth.
  • Taste the sauce with a clean spoon. Add more lime if you want tang. Add more garlic for extra spice.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the most intense flavor.
  • Chill the sauce for one hour before serving.
  • Use a high-quality mayonnaise for a richer taste.
  • Do not use the thick cilantro stems.
  • Add a jalapeno if you like spicy food.
  • Pulse the blender to avoid over-heating the sauce.
  • Check the salt levels at the very end.
  • Make sure the cilantro is completely dry first.
