Dairy Free Mojo Verde
This vibrant Canarian-style green sauce is one of those condiments that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Bright cilantro and flat-leaf parsley form the herby backbone, while garlic, cumin, and a splash of white wine vinegar give it that punchy, layered depth you'd expect from a proper mojo. A slow stream of extra-virgin olive oil brings it all together into a glossy, pourable sauce that's as beautiful as it is bold. The optional serrano or jalapeño adds a gentle heat that plays beautifully against the fresh herbs — leave it in or take it out depending on who's at the table. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-checking required — just blend and go. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, which means you can drizzle it over roasted vegetables, grilled fish, or crusty bread all week long without any extra effort.
