Mint Mojo Sauce

No ratings yet
Fresh, zesty, and packed with bold flavor, this Mint Mojo Sauce is a vibrant twist on the traditional Canary Islands' classic. Swapping out the usual herbs for cooling mint gives this sauce a refreshing edge that pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, or even fish. We used it with Fried Plantain. With garlic, citrus, and capers for balance, it's a quick and versatile condiment that brings bright, herbaceous energy to any dish.
Whether you use it as a marinade, a drizzle, or a dip, this green sauce is sure to become a staple in your summer cooking.
