Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2–3 jalapeno peppers (about 1/4 cup diced, seeds removed)
- 1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro
- 1 small clove garlic
- 2 tsp fresh squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare Jalapenos and Garlic: Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds to reduce heat. Dice the jalapenos into small pieces. Peel and dice the garlic clove.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, diced jalapenos, diced garlic, cilantro, and lime juice.
- Blend the Mixture: Use an immersion blender to pulse the mixture a few times, blending until smooth. Ensure the blender is fully submerged to prevent splattering and to achieve an even consistency.
- Adjust Flavors: Taste the jalapeno mayo and add more lime juice for extra tang or additional jalapeno if you prefer a spicier sauce. Blend briefly if additions are made.
- Store Properly: Transfer the jalapeno mayo into an airtight container or jar and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 10 days.
- Serve: You can use the sauce immediately; however, letting it sit for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to marinate and intensify for a better taste experience.
Notes
- Removing the seeds from jalapenos lowers the heat, but leaving some seeds in will increase spiciness.
- For a smoother texture, blend longer or use a food processor.
- This mayo pairs well with grilled meats, sandwiches, tacos, or as a dipping sauce for fries and veggies.
- Store in the refrigerator and use within 10 days for optimal freshness.
- Adjust jalapeno quantity according to your spice preference.
