Aji Verde | Peruvian-Style Green Sauce

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while adding creaminess.

jalapeño peppers

🥗Healthier: serrano peppers

💰Cheaper: green bell peppers

Serrano peppers offer similar heat, while green bell peppers are milder and more affordable.

Seed the jalapenos and remove all seeds.

Add jalapenos, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice to a blender or jar.

Add avocado oil and blend on high until smooth and bright green.

Add mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese, then blend on low for 3 seconds to mix.

Adjust consistency by adding more Parmesan if the sauce is too watery.
