Trini garlic sauce

The perfect sauce to top just about anything in my opinion. A creamy Trini style garlic sauce made with garlic, mayonnaise, chadon beni and spices. You will be putting this condiment on everything!

Notes

A few notes to help tweak the recipe to your liking:
Additional seasonings: You can add some additional seasonings to this to make it more dramatic. Things like mustard, lime zest or lime juice, chive, black pepper, and salt.
Want it to be a spicy sauce: Use some fresh pepper for spice. This can be any hot pepper like scotch bonnet pepper or habanero pepper.
Additional tanginess: This has a slight tanginess, but if you want a heavy taste, add more chadon beni leaves to get a sharper taste.
Want a thinner sauce: You can use additional water to the sauce or white vinegar. Start with about a tablespoon at a time.
Additional Notes:
This yields enough to fill a 16 oz jar.
Making this in a blender like a bullet you will need to blend, then give a shake to continue to get the mayo do come down to combine. You can also blend well, then take it off the base and use a spoon to continue mixing.
