This cilantro mayo blends mayonnaise with fresh cilantro leaves, lime juice, and garlic into a smooth, herb-flecked sauce. It brings a bright, tangy lift to tacos, grilled fish, sandwiches, or as a dip for fries. Ready in minutes with no cooking required, it keeps well in the fridge for easy weeknight use.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method

  1. Rinse the cilantro and pat dry, then roughly chop the leaves and tender stems.

  2. Combine the mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a food processor or blender.

  3. Blend until the cilantro is finely incorporated and the mayo turns a light green, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed.

  4. Taste and adjust salt, lime juice, or cayenne as needed.

  5. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
