This vibrant green sauce combines fresh cilantro, jalapeños, and lime for a punchy condiment that works as a drizzle for tacos, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables. It comes together quickly in a blender, with olive oil lending body and vinegar adding a tangy edge.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, stemmed and roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Method

  1. Rinse the cilantro and shake off excess water; roughly chop the jalapeños and peel the garlic cloves.

  2. Combine the cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, olive oil, water, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and cumin in a blender.

  3. Blend on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1 minute.

  4. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed, then transfer to a jar or airtight container.

  5. Refrigerate until ready to use; flavor deepens after chilling for at least 30 minutes.
