PERUVIAN AJI-STYLE SAUCE

I got this recipe from a restaurant in California 10 years ago. It's been a staple in my refrigerator ever since. It's excellent with rotisserie chicken. You can lower the calories if you stream in olive oil in replace of the mayo.

PERUVIAN AJI SAUCE

This is the bright green spicy sauce served in Peruvian restaurants that is delicious as a bread dip but can be used on meats or fish.

Steps:

Chop everything up as needed to fit into a blender.
Remove the thick stems from the Cilantro and Parsley bunches. Cut the hard stem/hearts out of the romaine lettuce.
Combine ingredients in the blender and blend thoroughly until smooth. Add small amounts of water if it sticks and gets too thick to blend. It will be a bright teal to sea green in color when complete.
Spread it on any kind of bread either by itself, or on top of butter, margarine or hydrolyzed vegetable oil spreads. It is very tasty and really wakes up bread or can be used as a dip with chips.
Store up to a week in the refrigerator. This stuff is awesome but very perishable, so I would use it within 5 days.
