Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 Egg white
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by setting up all your ingredients so that each is prepared for easy assembly.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, dill, chives, and minced garlic. Stir well to ensure all the herbs are mixed throughout the liquid ingredients.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Set aside.
Separate one egg and place the egg white into a clean, dry metal or glass mixing bowl. Ensure there is no yolk mixed in to guarantee successful foaming.
Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg white until it reaches soft peaks. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes with a mixer or longer if whisking by hand.
Once the egg white has reached the desired consistency, gently fold in the lemon herb mixture a little at a time with a spatula. Be careful to retain the airiness of the foam while incorporating the flavors evenly.
Once fully combined, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately as a topping for grilled poultry, fish, or roasted vegetables to add a light, citrusy zing to your Whole30-approved meals.
