Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh chives
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing all the fresh herbs under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Combine the parsley, cilantro, basil, and chives on a cutting board.
Roughly chop the herbs and garlic cloves.
Add the chopped herbs and garlic into a food processor or blender.
Pour in the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until it is smooth but retains some texture; you want it slightly chunky for a rustic feel.
Taste the sauce and adjust salt or lemon juice to your preference if needed.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or a sealable jar if storing for later use.
Allow the flavors to meld for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Store any leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring it to room temperature before using to allow the olive oil to soften again.
