Ingredients

2 Jalapeños
1 handful cilantro
2-3 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp avocado oil
1.5 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise preferably homemade
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
sea salt to taste *

Instructions

Add all ingredients but mayonnaise and Parmesan to a blender or a jar into which your immersion blender fits and blend on high until bright green and smooth.
Add mayonnaise and grated Parmesan and blend on low for only a few seconds. If you blend on high or for too long you risk your mayonnaise curdling.
Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in the fridge.

Notes

* my mayo and Parmesan were salty enough so I didn't add any salt. Make sure you try your sauce first before adding salt.
