Pulse the ingredients a few times until they are roughly chopped and starting to combine.

Step 6

With the processor running on low, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the mixture begins to emulsify.

Step 7

Add the unsweetened almond milk to the processor and continue blending until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, blending briefly to incorporate.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the dairy-free fresh herb sauce to a bowl or an airtight container. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
