Cilantro Jalapeño Sauce

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (packed, stems removed)

2-3 jalapeños, seeded for mild spice or leave seeds for more heat

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

1 small garlic clove

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1-2 tablespoons water (optional, for desired consistency)

Instructions

Directions:

Prep the jalapeños: Slice the jalapeños and remove seeds for a milder flavor. If you want a spicier sauce, keep the seeds intact.

Blend ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, jalapeños, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Adjust consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again until you reach your desired texture.

Taste and tweak: Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed for a perfectly balanced flavor.

Serve or store: Use immediately or transfer to a jar and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
