This nutritious sauce is made with parsley, cilantro, basil, garlic, olive oil, lime juice and salt. Can't go wrong, right! It's full of vitamins. It adds so much flavor to any dish. I think it's the kind of sauce that will turn carnivores into vegetarians if they add it to the vegetables, which a lot of people find bland. Besides the flavor, I will always make this sauce is because it uses the leftover coarse stems from parsley and cilantro, which I often discard. Now- no more waste of vitamins.
Ingredients
a large bunch of parsely with stems
a large bunch of cilanto with stems
⅓ cup of basil
1 large garlic clove (minced)
juice of half of lime
½ cup of olive oil
salt
Instructions
Place all the ingredients in a blender or a small food-processor and blend/pulse until smooth. When I use my Vitamix blender, the sauce comes out silky smooth (like in the photo). When I use my Cuisinart mini-prep food processor, the sauce is lumpier but also delicious. I even prefer it a bit more textured. Adjust salt to your liking. I put ⅓ of a teaspoon.
