Yeast Free Herb & Citrus Mojo Verde
This vibrant green sauce is everything you want in a condiment — herby, garlicky, tangy, and alive with citrus. Cilantro and flat-leaf parsley form the bright backbone, while fresh lime juice, a touch of apple cider vinegar, and a hint of ground ginger give it a layered zing that keeps you going back for more. The whole thing comes together in a blender in just a few pulses, finished with a slow stream of extra-virgin olive oil until it turns silky and pourable. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, store-bought sauces and condiments can be a minefield of hidden fermented ingredients and additives. This recipe sidesteps all of that — every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, with the apple cider vinegar providing just enough acidity without any of the concerns that come with yeast-derived flavorings. It's the kind of sauce that proves you don't have to sacrifice bold flavor to eat the way you need to. Drizzle it over grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, fish tacos, or grain bowls, and it instantly makes the whole plate feel restaurant-worthy. Keep a jar in the fridge 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.
