Peruvian Aji Salsa Verde image

Classic Peruvian green sauce for chips. Can be as mild or spicy as you want. Not salsa in the typical latin restaurant sense of the word, just a unique savory and tangy sauce for dipping. Refrigerate and keep for weeks!

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped including stems
3 jalapenos (this will be very hot, remove seeds or use less to taste)
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/3 cup water
splash lemon juice

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients and blend until smooth.
  • Use peppers, garlic, and salt to taste. Experiment as necessary, you can't go wrong. (For mild version, use 1/4 to 1/2 jalepeno pepper and remove seeds).
  • I recommend allowing to refrigerate a bit before serving to set and let flavors mix.
  • Serve with bread or chips.
