Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves (packed)
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 unit Garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold water, and pat them dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture a few times until the cilantro is finely chopped and well-blended.
Add the mayonnaise to the food processor, and blend everything together until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides, if needed, to ensure all ingredients are incorporated evenly.
Taste the cilantro mayonnaise, and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice, if desired.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a small bowl or an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Use as a dip for vegetables, a sandwich spread, or a topping for grilled meats and seafood.
