Description

This creamy garlic lime cilantro sauce is bright, spicy, and full of bold flavor. Made with cilantro, lime, jalapeño, garlic, and mayo, it’s the kind of sauce you’ll want to drizzle on everything from tacos and burgers to eggs and pizza.


Ingredients

  • 1 bunch cilantro, stems and all
  • 1–2 limes, juiced
  • 1–2 jalapeños, stems removed
  • 5–10 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups mayonnaise


Instructions

  1. Add the cilantro, lime juice, jalapeños, garlic, and mayonnaise to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust lime juice or jalapeño as desired.
  4. Pour into a squeeze bottle or airtight container.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use vegan mayonnaise.
  • For a lighter copycat-style version, use half mayo and half sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • To reduce the heat, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before blending.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add more fresh lime juice until it reaches your preferred consistency.
