• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cilantro and parsley under cold water and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Remove the stems from the cilantro and parsley, then roughly chop the leaves.

Step 3

Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and ribs for less heat (or leave them in if you prefer a spicier sauce), and roughly chop.

Step 4

Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them.

Step 5

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender.

Step 6

Juice the lime into the blender, ensuring no seeds are added.

Step 7

Add the cilantro, parsley, jalapeños, garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the blender.

Step 8

Add the water to the blender to help with the blending process.

Step 9

Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.

Step 11

Transfer the Aja Verde to a clean jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 12

Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, chicken, or vegetables. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
