Pork Free Herb & Citrus Mojo Verde
This vibrant green sauce is a punchy, herbaceous blend of fresh cilantro, parsley, garlic, and bright lime that comes together in minutes with nothing more than a blender and a handful of pantry staples. The combination of lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and a whisper of ground ginger gives it a layered tang that's lively without being sharp, while a slow stream of extra-virgin olive oil pulls everything into a silky, pourable consistency. It's the kind of condiment that makes grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or even a simple grain bowl feel like something special. Since every ingredient here is plant-based and naturally free of any meat products, there's zero guesswork about what's in it — just clean, bold flavor you made yourself. The recipe takes almost no time to prepare and keeps in the fridge for up to four days, so you can drizzle it over everything from weeknight dinners to weekend gatherings. Bright, garlicky, and deeply satisfying, this is the kind of sauce you'll want to keep on rotation all season long.

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.
