Wheat Free Herb & Citrus Mojo Verde
This vibrant green sauce is everything you want in a table condiment — herby, garlicky, tangy, and alive with citrus. Fresh cilantro and flat-leaf parsley form the backbone, while lime juice, a touch of apple cider vinegar, and a hint of ground ginger give it a layered brightness that goes way beyond a basic herb drizzle. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no label-scanning or substitution gymnastics required — just real, whole ingredients blended together in minutes. The slow stream of extra-virgin olive oil is what transforms it from a chunky herb paste into a glossy, pourable sauce with a beautiful consistency. It works as a marinade, a dipping sauce, a drizzle over roasted vegetables, or spooned straight onto grilled proteins. Make a batch on Sunday and it keeps in the fridge for up to four days, getting even more fragrant as the flavors meld. It's the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste like you actually tried.

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.
