Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse and dry the fresh cilantro and parsley leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Use the leaves only and discard the stems.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro leaves, parsley leaves, and chopped garlic.
Add the fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture a few times to begin blending the ingredients.
Slowly add the water while continuing to pulse until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even blending.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or vinegar if desired.
Transfer the cilantro sauce to a small bowl or jar. It can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
