Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 small avocado
- 1 small jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and rinse the fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, and basil) under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and membrane if desired (for less heat), and roughly chop it.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them for easier blending.
Scoop out the flesh of the avocado and discard the skin and pit.
Add the cilantro, parsley, basil, garlic, fresh lime juice, olive oil, avocado, chopped jalapeño, sea salt, ground black pepper, and water into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for your preferred flavor.
Transfer the sauce to a bowl or an airtight container if not serving immediately. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve as a dipping sauce for raw veggies, drizzle it over grilled meats or seafood, or use it as a salad dressing.
