Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2–3 jalapeno peppers (about 1/4 cup diced, seeds removed)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (loosely packed)
- 1 small clove of garlic
- 2 tsp fresh squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Jalapenos and Garlic: Slice the jalapenos in half and carefully remove the seeds to reduce the heat if desired. Dice the jalapenos into small pieces. Peel and finely dice the garlic clove.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, diced jalapenos, minced garlic, loosely packed cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
- Blend the Mixture: Use an immersion blender to pulse the mixture a few times until all ingredients are smooth and evenly combined. Ensure the blender stays fully submerged to prevent splattering.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the jalapeno mayo and add additional lime juice for more tang or extra diced jalapenos if more heat is preferred. Blend briefly again to incorporate any additions.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the prepared jalapeno mayonnaise into an airtight container or jar and refrigerate. It can be served immediately but will develop richer flavors if left to chill for at least 30 minutes. Use within 10 days for freshness.
Notes
- Removing jalapeno seeds helps in reducing heat if you prefer a milder mayo.
- The mayonnaise base can be substituted with vegan mayo for a vegan version.
- The jalapeno mayo pairs well with grilled meats, sandwiches, tacos, and as a dipping sauce.
- Use an immersion blender or alternatively a small food processor for blending.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 10 days.
