Fructose Free Herb & Citrus Mojo Verde
This vibrant green sauce is everything you want in a finishing condiment — herby, garlicky, and punchy with fresh lime and a whisper of ginger. It comes together in minutes using a blender or food processor, making it one of those effortless recipes that looks and tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. For anyone managing fructose sensitivity, finding a bold, ready-made sauce at the store is nearly impossible without running into high-fructose sweeteners or sneaky additives — this one keeps things clean with just herbs, garlic, citrus, and good olive oil. The apple cider vinegar adds a gentle tang that lifts the whole sauce without tipping it into anything sharp or overwhelming. Streaming the olive oil in slowly while the machine runs is the small step that transforms it from a rough herb chop into something silky and pourable. Spoon it over grilled proteins, roasted vegetables, or use it as a bright dipping sauce — it holds beautifully in the fridge for up to four days, so making a batch ahead is absolutely worth it.

Instructions

With the machine running on low, stream in the olive oil in a slow, steady pour until the sauce is smooth and bright green with a slightly loose, pourable consistency — about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides once if needed.
