Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 large Lime
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the cilantro, parsley, and basil thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove any tough stems.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them.
Zest the lemon and lime, then juice them. Reserve both the zest and juice.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro, parsley, basil, and garlic. Pulse briefly to begin breaking them down.
Add the lemon and lime zest, lemon and lime juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and water to the processor.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use as a drizzle over salads, a dip for vegetables, or a topper for grilled proteins.
