Pro tips

  • For less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before blending. For more spice, use two jalapeños with seeds.
  • If you find the sauce too thick, add a tablespoon of water or extra lemon juice until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Store Rachel’s Green Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Its bright color and fresh taste are best enjoyed within the first few days.
