- 1 cup Jalapeño Peppers Seeds removed, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Cilantro Fresh leaves and tender stems

Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors meld and improve overnight. Make-Ahead: The Aji Verde sauce can be made up to 4 days in advance. Variations: For a dairy-free creamy twist, swap half the mayonnaise for ripe avocado. Serve inside lettuce cups, over cauliflower rice, or with yuca fries for a complete Peruvian feast.
