- 5-6 jalapeños (depending on heat and personal preference), stemmed, seeded, coarsely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup neutral vegetable oil (such as grapeseed)
- 3/4 cup (packed) fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
- Pulse jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, and salt in a blender or food processor until puréed. With motor running, slowly drizzle in oil until a thick sauce forms. Add cilantro and pulse a few times until chopped and incorporated. Taste and add more jalapeño, if necessary.
- Sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated.
