Aji verde sauce is a bold and bright Peruvian green sauce. It’s spicy and tangy, and packed with fresh flavor. If you are a fan of Peruvian food, you know how essential this sauce is. It pairs well with so many foods, especially ceviche and empanadas. I tried my best to make the most authentic sauce that doesn't lack on bold, fresh flavor. I hope you guys enjoy!
