Notes

For a kid-friendly version of this sauce, you can go without jalapeno and still get the delicious taste of this favorite saucIf you don't like the strong taste of the cilantro leaves, you can replace the bunch cilantro with  fresh herbs like dill or basil. 
For a more creamy texture, you can replace the cup of water with three ice cubes.
You can use this sauce as a pasta sauce just like pesto or tomato sauces.
