Peruvian Aji Sauce
After eating at many a Peruvian restaurant, I became hooked on the green dipping sauce. Here now is SoCalTed's Peruvian Aji Sauce!

Wow! A hot sauce that is tasty and that I can control the heat! I tried the original recipe.. nice. The 2nd time I added 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 bunch cilantro.., great!. The 3rd time, with salt & cilantro, I streamed 1/4 cup olive oil into the blender INSTEAD of the mayo... Delish!!! --no mayo aftertaste, healthier and tastier-- it seems to bring out the flavor of the lettuce and cilantro. Update: This is my 5th try (you can tell I love this recipe) and I added 1/2 onion... OMG, how flavorful! That's it. I can not improve this further for my taste. A real winner!!! Update 2: How I control the heat: Mildly spicy - remove the seeds and veins from the jalapenos. Spicy hot - remove the seeds only and leave the veins in.

I am Peruvian and I would really recommend if you can find a Latin store on your area (more than sure you're gonna find it), look for: AJI AMARILLO. That's our pepper and is amazing (just be sure to wash your hands really good before you think in touching your eyes)
I also added salt, pepper, and cilantro and it is great.. Has a very addictive flavor because of the Iceberg. I used a food processor the first time will use a blender the next.

the sauce came out a little too bland so i tried adding about a table spoon of salt as well as some cilantro. this made the sauce a little more flavorful and everyone just enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
When I traveled to Cusco and Machu pichu I tasted this delicious dipping sauce,but I never could recreate it. This recipe is fabulous tasting and I intend to serve it with Saltado de Pollo on Valentines day!
This recipe came out really great when I added a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup of my home made recaito. Thanks!
I made the green salsa,but I did not put any bread I added more fire! It was a succes ! A friend of mine tried it out (She is from Peru ) It did not believe it that I made it.beware it is so addictive!!! thank you!!!for the recipe.
I use Sour cream and use Aji sauce with a spoonfull of lemon Juice, Only because I'm not a Mayo fan
This hot sauce is amazing. I added a little garlic and next time will add some onion. Outstanding flavor. I didn't think it needed as much mayo, but it's great b/c you can play around with the consistency you want -- great flavor!!
Added onion, lime juice and cucumber to add some freshness. Cilantro would have been great but didn't have any. Family didn't like the bread aspect. Will find another recipe. Will not make this one again.
This is yummy i added some milk, garlic and i added fresh spinach
Definatley needs onion and garlic adding with more chilli but really good way of making a sauce for dipping meat in.
if you can find aji limo and change it with the jalapeno uyuy you will love it. for those who can really can manage spicy!
this tasted like lettuce with spicy jalapenos in it. It didnt say to take out the seeds just cut off the stem which I did
Horrible. Tastes NOTHING like the real thing. And that might be forgivable if it tasted good, but it is just appalling
