About Aji verde

Aji Verde is a vibrant green Peruvian sauce known for its bold flavors and versatility. Traditionally made with a base of fresh cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, and mayonnaise, it’s often blended with olive oil, salt, and occasionally a touch of queso fresco or yogurt for added creaminess. Popular in Peruvian cuisine, Aji Verde serves as a zesty accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and fried potatoes. Nutritionally, it offers the benefits of cilantro’s antioxidants and vitamin K, as well as the metabolism-boosting properties of spicy jalapeños. However, depending on the recipe, it may be high in calories and fat due to the mayo or cheese content, so portion control is key for those watching their intake. Overall, Aji Verde is a flavorful way to elevate dishes while incorporating fresh, wholesome ingredients.
