Instructions
Wash and dry all of the fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, and mint). Roughly chop them for easier blending.
Peel the garlic clove and cut the jalapeño in half. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, mint, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, water, jalapeño, ground cumin, salt, and maple syrup.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
