How to Make Cilantro Lime Mayonnaise

  1. Combine 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon lime zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Blend until the cilantro is finely chopped.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly add 1 cup mayonnaise until fully incorporated. Do not over-process.
  3. Season to taste with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. This allows the flavors to deepen and will enhance the overall taste.
