Tree Nut Free Herb & Citrus Mojo Verde
This vibrant green sauce is a punchy, herbaceous blend of fresh cilantro and parsley, brightened with lime juice and zest, and rounded out with a hint of ground ginger and apple cider vinegar. The result is something that tastes alive — bold, citrusy, and deeply savory all at once. It comes together in a blender in just a few pulses, with a slow drizzle of olive oil pulling everything into a silky, pourable consistency that clings beautifully to whatever you spoon it over. Grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, fish tacos, or even a simple bowl of rice — this sauce makes everything taste more intentional. Since every ingredient here is a whole, recognizable food, there's zero guesswork about hidden additives or shared-facility concerns that can make store-bought condiments a gamble. It keeps in the fridge for up to four days, so you can make a batch on Sunday and reach for it all week 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.
