Aji Verde

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 3 ounces (a little chunk) queso fresco
• 1 jalapeño pepper (for a mild sauce, remove the ribs and seeds – you can also use a serrano pepper)
• 1 cup cilantro
• 2 cloves of garlic
• juice of 1 lime
• a pinch of salt, to taste

Steps

1. 1

   Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth-ish. I like to go until it smoothly drips off a spoon – no more chunks but just a little bit of texture to it.

2. 2

   You’re done! Serve with grilled meats and veggies, tacos, salads, bowls, or just dip into it with some chips. It’s incredible.
