3/4 cup (180 ml) oil (vegetable, canola or corn)
1/4 cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup (80 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice (store-bought juice will work)
5 garlic gloves, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Give it a good shake before using.

Notes

Store: This mojo will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

Extra Tips:

Once you blend your mojo, feel free to add more seasonings to taste.
Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes if you like heat.
Let the mojo chill for at least an hour before serving, so the flavors have time to marry together.
Some oils harden in the fridge if that happens let the mojo over the counter for 5-10 minutes, stir well, and then use as desired.
Give it a good shake before serving.
