Ingredients
- ½ cup cilantro leaves coriander leaves (some thin stems also fine)
- 1 scallion green onion - green part only
- 1 clove garlic small
- ½ green chili eg serrano
- ¼ cup mayonnaise 60ml
- ½ tablespoon aji amarillo chili paste
- 1 teaspoon huacatay paste (if available - omit if not)
- ½ lime juice ie juice from ½ lime
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon queso fresco or cotija, can use parmesan/mild feta as alternative
- ½ tablespoon olive oil or use another mild oil
Instructions
- Remove cilantro leaves from the stems before measuring - some thinner stems are fine. Remove the white part from the scallion and any rough/dry end on the green part. Depending on your food processor/blender, I'd recommend roughly chopping the garlic, green chili and scallion stem before you make the sauce.
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You can use straight away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days, or longer.
