AIP Friendly Cilantro Mint Chutney
This vibrant green chutney is bright, herby, and punchy — the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. A generous pile of fresh cilantro and mint gets blended with garlic, ginger, and lime juice into a silky, deeply flavored sauce that comes together in under five minutes. Coconut aminos step in to add a subtle savory depth without any soy or grain-based ingredients, which is exactly the kind of smart swap that makes this work for an elimination-style protocol. Traditional chutneys often sneak in peppers, seeds, or legumes, but every single ingredient here stays within the boundaries of the autoimmune protocol — no workarounds needed. A touch of optional honey rounds out the acidity if you want a slightly sweeter finish. It makes eight servings, so blend a batch at the start of the week and keep it in the fridge to drizzle over roasted vegetables, grilled meat, or anything that needs a serious flavor upgrade. It stores beautifully for up to three days, meaning one quick blender session pays off all week long.
