Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup garlic cloves
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 chadon beni leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Up to 1/4 cup water or white vinegar as needed

Method
 

  1. Peel the garlic cloves and trim off the hard stem ends. Wash the garlic and chadon beni well, then roughly chop the chadon beni.
  2. Add the garlic and chadon beni to a blender or food processor and blend until finely chopped.
  3. Add some of the mayonnaise and blend again until the garlic and chadon beni are well incorporated.
  4. Add the remaining mayonnaise, sugar, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add water or white vinegar a little at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust as needed.

Notes

  • For a spicier sauce, blend in fresh Scotch bonnet, habanero, or another hot pepper to taste.
  • For a thinner sauce, add water or white vinegar about 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred consistency. Water will thin the sauce without adding much extra flavor, while vinegar will make it tangier.
  • You can also adjust the flavor with additional chadon beni, mustard, lime zest, chive, black pepper, or salt.
  • This recipe makes enough to fill approximately one 16-ounce jar.
  • If using a small blender, such as a Bullet-style blender, you may need to stop and shake the container as you blend to help the mayonnaise move down toward the blades. You can also finish combining the sauce with a spoon once everything is well blended.
