Peruvian Green Sauce (Aji Verde)

This sauce is what food dreams are made of. It’s jam packed with cilantro, though, so if you’re one of those unfortunate souls who taste soap when you eat cilantro, you are missing out!!

A cilantro-heavy sauce made of dreams.

Prep time: 10 MinTotal time: 10 Min

Ingredients

• 2 whole jalapenos, roughly chopped (ribs and seeds included)
• 1 medium clove garlic, roughly chopped
• 1 cup packed cilantro
• Juice from 1/2 lime
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons grated cotija cheese (can substitute Parmesan)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.

Notes

I used 1/2 jalapeno to cut down on the spice. It was still AMAZING!!!
