Ingredients
-
1 cup fresh parsley (or mixed herbs: cilantro, mint, basil)
-
1 clove garlic
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
-
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
-
Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan or Greek yogurt for creaminess
Instructions
1. Prepare the herbs
Wash and dry the herbs thoroughly. Roughly chop them to help with blending.
2. Blend the base
In a food processor or blender, combine the herbs, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped.
3. Add the oil slowly
While the processor is running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil until a creamy, emulsified sauce forms.
4. Adjust to taste
Taste and adjust seasoning or acidity. Add more lemon juice for brightness or Parmesan/yogurt for a thicker, richer texture.
5. Store and serve
Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
Tips
-
Use a mix of soft herbs like dill, tarragon, chives, or arugula for variety.

For a milder garlic taste, roast it beforehand.
