Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 each Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 each Zest of one lemon
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by thoroughly rinsing the basil, parsley, and mint leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them to make blending easier.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the basil leaves, parsley leaves, mint leaves, and garlic cloves.
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture in the food processor.
Pulse the ingredients a few times until they are roughly chopped and starting to combine.
With the processor running on low, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the mixture begins to emulsify.
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the processor and continue blending until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, blending briefly to incorporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dairy-free fresh herb sauce to a bowl or an airtight container. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
