   Step 1: Choose ONE base: 1 cup mayonnaise; 1 cup plain Greek yogurt; 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt plus 1/4 cup mayonnaise; OR 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt plus 1 tbsp heavy cream. Reserve unused mayonnaise or yogurt rather than adding all base supplies. Blend the selected base with juice of 1 lime, peeled 1 garlic clove, 1 initial pinch salt and optional handful of cilantro. Add the 1/4 serrano for heat, or use less or omit for milder sauce, reserving unused pepper. Add a small splash of water only if needed to combine.
