Categories     Appetizer

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 jalapeños
1 bunch fresh cilantro (2oz)
5 medium cloves garlic (1.5 tbsp)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños, then roughly chop them. For a spicier sauce, leave the seeds and ribs in, and simply chop the jalapeños. You should have about 1 cup of chopped jalapeños.
  • Place the jalapeños into a blender along with all the remaining ingredients (I even include the cilantro stems), and blend on high for at least 30 seconds, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

NINFA'S GREEN SAUCE

This green sauce is popular in many Mexican restaurants around Houston. Ninfa's was one of the first to serve this sauce. The recipe has been printed in the Houston Chronicle several times. I've adapted it slightly. Mama Ninfa Rodriquez Laurenzo opened the original Ninfa's Restaurant on Navigation street in 1973. Her food differed from the usual Tex-Mex restaurants in town. She seemed to achieve fame in the kitchen overnight. Some of her famous guests included George Bush, Michael Douglas, John Travolta, Rock Hudson, and Aerosmith! Mama Ninfa lost her battle with cancer last year, but her much loved Mexican food lives on. The original Ninfa's is still there, and there are several other locations here in Houston as well.
