Aji Verde Sauce

This vibrant aji verde sauce is the perfect match for my Peruvian chicken recipe. It's creamy, tangy herby, and has just the right amount of heat. It ties everything together and adds a bold fresh flavor that takes the dish to the next level. Made with simple ingredients like jalapenos, lime, cilantro, cojita cheese and aji amarillo paste. It comes together quickly in the blender and tastes amazing on just about everything.
