- 3-4 cloves of garlic with skin
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil I use avocado
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a frying pan or toaster oven, roast the jalapeños and garlic (make sure you don't remove the skin).

Notes
- Remember to store your Creamy Jalapeno Salsa in a glass jar with a lid, such as a mason jar or a reusable plastic container you might already have at home. Make sure to keep it refrigerated to maintain its freshness. Use your salsa for the best taste within two to three weeks of refrigeration.
- Add one to three tablespoons of oil if the sauce is very thick or the blender needs extra liquid to run.
