A delicious and creamy sauce made with fresh ingredients, perfect for enhancing your dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole lime (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup good-quality mayonnaise (such as Hellmann’s)
- 3 ounces queso fresco or blanco
- 2 serrano peppers (ends trimmed)
- 1 bunch cilantro (with the leaves removed and stems discarded)

Instructions
- To a blender, add the lime juice, olive oil, cheese, mayonnaise, serrano peppers, cilantro leaves, garlic cloves, green onions, aji amarillo and salt.
- Blend for about 1 to 2 minutes, until very smooth. At first the cilantro leaves won’t be totally smooth, but keep the blender running and it will eventually become cohesive and smooth.
- Give it a taste and adjust the salt according to your liking.
- Keeps in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- This sauce pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, or as a dip.
- Adjust the amount of serrano peppers based on your heat preference.
