This vibrant Peruvian-inspired green sauce is punchy, herbaceous, and seriously addictive — the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste better. The base of fresh cilantro, fiery ají amarillo, and jalapeño blends into a silky, electric-green pour that brings serious heat and brightness in equal measure. Avocado oil keeps the texture luxuriously smooth while staying completely grain-free, so there's no need to worry about any hidden fillers or thickeners that sometimes sneak into store-bought sauces. A squeeze of fresh lime ties it all together with just enough acidity to balance the chile heat. The optional mint is a subtle but genuinely lovely addition if you want an extra layer of cool freshness against all that fire. It comes together in under five minutes with a blender and a handful of fresh ingredients — no cooking, no fuss, just bold flavor. Drizzle it over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or use it as a dipping sauce and watch it disappear fast.

Combine the cilantro, ají amarillo peppers, jalapeño, garlic, avocado oil, lime juice, and salt in a blender or food processor. Add the mint, if using.
Blend on high until the sauce is smooth and bright green, about 30–45 seconds, scraping down the sides once halfway through. The sauce should be pourable but not watery — if it seems too thick, add water 1 tsp at a time and blend briefly.
