Scallions, garlic, cilantro, lime, and jalapeño blend seamlessly in a food processor with mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. The outcome is a creamy, cilantro-garlic sauce that’s full of flavor and perfect for topping grilled steaks, chicken, pork chops, fish, or even tofu. It’s also fantastic on tacos of all kinds. In the colder months, try it with roasted meats.
