Cilantro Jalapeno Sauce
Description
Cilantro Jalapeno Sauce combines halved fresh jalapeños and loosely packed cilantro stems blended with sour cream, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Olive oil and apple cider vinegar are then slowly incorporated while blending to emulsify the sauce, resulting in a creamy consistency with balanced acidity and mild heat. The fresh ingredients impart a vibrant green color and bright flavor profile dominated by herbal notes from cilantro and the gentle heat of jalapeño, rounded by the smoothness of sour cream.
This sauce can be served as a dip, drizzle for grilled meats or vegetables, or a flavorful topping for tacos and sandwiches. Its creamy yet fresh character offers a versatile condiment that complements a variety of dishes without overwhelming them.

- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Combine jalapenos, cilantro, sour cream, garlic, lime juice and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add olive oil and vinegar in a slow stream until emulsified.
