Salsa muy verde

I'm reading this fun new book "Mariachi" in preparation for the Tucson International Mariachi Festival next weekend...which is featuring the amazing Lila Downs. Can you tell I'm a little excited? I adore Lila and have seen her in concert three times.

So this book has recipes in it. Kinda quirky, since it is a book about music. It also has lots of pictures and a CD of music. Even though this isn't a cookbook, the recipes are good...here is one that uses cilantro, which is growing like crazy in the garden. I have a whole plot full of it, so I am very attentive to any recipes that will use up the garden bounty.

Cilantro-lime sauce or salsa de lima y cilantro o salsa muy verde (como te quiero verde):

Juice of 2 limes
2 jalapenos (if you like it hot)
salt and olive oil to taste
bunch of cilantro
water
3 cloves of garlic

Throw it in the blender and then eat it up! You can put it on boiled potatoes, meat, fish, veggies....It is fantastic and very green. If you are a chile wimp, leave out the chiles.
