How to make Jalapeño Dip step by step:
Slice the Jalapeño peppers, and add them to a food processor. ( I prefer THIS food processor)
Include the garlic, mayonnaise, salt, and optional lemon juice in the food processor with the Jalapeño.
Pulse the ingredients on high for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
** Note: If you have a low tolerance for spicy foods, deseeding the jalapeno peppers will help reduce the heat level of the dip, making it more enjoyable for those with milder taste buds.
