Vegetarian Herb & Citrus Mojo Verde
This vibrant green sauce is everything you want in a condiment — bright, herby, garlicky, and just tangy enough to make whatever it touches taste more alive. Fresh cilantro and flat-leaf parsley form the backbone, while lime juice, a touch of apple cider vinegar, and a whisper of ground ginger layer in complexity that goes well beyond a basic herb sauce. The whole thing comes together in a blender in under a minute, which means you're never more than a few pulses away from something genuinely impressive. Streaming in the olive oil while the machine runs gives it that silky, pourable consistency that clings beautifully to roasted vegetables, grain bowls, eggs, or warm flatbread. There are no animal products hiding in here — just honest, plant-based ingredients that happen to taste incredible together. Make a jar on Sunday and you'll find yourself reaching 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.
