Green sauce, a creamy, spicy blend of jalapeños, cilantro, and lime, is perfect for drizzling over tacos, burrito bowls, or grilled chicken—but it’s so good, you’ll be tempted to put it on everything!

Green Sauce

Peruvian green sauce, or ají verde, is a creamy, spicy condiment that packs a punch. This fabulous recipe, adapted from the ever-reliable Kenji Lopez-Alt and featured on Serious Eats, has been a staple in my kitchen for years. Originating from Peru, this sauce combines the heat of jalapeños, the freshness of cilantro, and a rich base of mayonnaise and sour cream, all brightened up with a squeeze of lime. It’s the perfect accompaniment to my Peruvian chicken, adds a zesty kick to burrito bowls, and pairs well with just about anything in that vein. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll be finding excuses to drizzle it on everything!

Ingredients

  • 3 jalapeño chili peppers, seeded if desired (I use about half the seeds for a medium-hot sauce), and roughly chopped (see note)

  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann’s
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, from one lime
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients except the olive oil in a blender or food processor and blend into a smooth sauce. With the motor running, open lid and slowly drizzle in olive oil. It will seem very runny at this point but, don’t worry, it will thicken up as it sits. Transfer the sauce to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Note: Be sure to wash your hands well after handling hot peppers, and do not touch your eyes while working with them.
