How to Make Chile Lime Mayonnaise

  1. Combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1-2 jalapeños, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  2. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mayonnaise is evenly coated with the lime juice and spices.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, jalapeño for heat, or salt to taste.
  4. Serve immediately or chill for later use. This zesty mayonnaise is even better after it's had a chance to meld the flavors in the refrigerator!
