Instructions
Rinse the parsley, basil, and mint leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Remove any tough stems.

In a food processor or blender, add the parsley, basil, mint, garlic, and capers.
Pour in the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard to add tang and depth to the sauce.
Pulse the ingredients a few times to begin breaking them down.
With the processor running on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the mixture. Continue blending until the sauce is smooth but still slightly textured.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings by adding salt and black pepper to your preference.
Transfer the Sauce Verdi to a bowl or jar and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
