Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing all the fresh herbs: parsley, cilantro, basil, and mint.
Once clean, gently pat the herbs dry with a kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Remove any tough stems from the herbs. Chop the parsley, cilantro, basil, and mint leaves coarsely.
In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped herbs, minced garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and honey.
Blend the mixture until smooth. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending.
Once the dressing is smooth, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Blend again to combine.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to achieve your desired flavor balance.
Transfer the dressing to a sealable jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve the Nut-Free Fresh Herb Dressing over salads, grilled vegetables, or use it as a marinade for your favorite proteins.
