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.
Try it as a dressing, marinade, sandwich spread, or even dip for fries!
