Instructions
Wash and roughly chop the parsley, cilantro, and basil. Remove tough stems if necessary.

In a blender or food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, basil, garlic, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, coconut milk, jalapeño, salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt, pepper, or citrus levels to your liking.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dipping sauce, drizzling sauce, or use it as a salad dressing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
