I spotted this relish recipe from the " Best of gourmet 2003 " cookbook. This is my all time favorite recipe for a dip and can be used as a spread for sandwiches.

1 garlic clove
1& 1/2tblspn chopped fresh jalapeno chile
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
3 tbsp sour cream
1 tsp. salt

Preparation :

Pulse almonds , garlic ,and jalapeno in a food processor until finely chopped. Add cilantro , mayonnaise , lime juice , sour cream and salt . Blend to a phaste.

Serve room temperature or chilled with Pita chips. Can be stored in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Tips ~ I use low fat mayonnaise with olive oil.
