This tangy and cilantro-forward sauce is great as a sandwich spread, but you can drizzle it on pretty much any grilled meat or seafood, and it's even great mixed into cooked rice to change up the flavors.

Ingredients:

1 ¹⁄₂ cup cilantro leaves and smaller stems, packed
2 large jalapenos, stem and core removed, chopped
³⁄₄ cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until the sauce is smooth.

Transfer to a sealed container and store in the refrigerator for no more than 2 weeks.
