Rachel's Green Sauce

Rachel's Green Sauce is a blended sauce featuring fresh cilantro, jalapeños, parmesan cheese, garlic, and tangy red wine vinegar and lemon juice, all emulsified with olive oil. It produces a bright, herbaceous sauce with a slight kick from the jalapeños and a hint of sharpness from the cheese. Its smooth texture makes it versatile for drizzling or dipping.
