Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Rinse all the fresh herbs thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the parsley, basil, cilantro, and dill.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the food processor.
Step 4
Pulse the food processor a few times to break down the herbs and garlic into a coarse texture.
Step 5
Add lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and honey to the herb mixture in the food processor.
Step 6
Process until the mixture is smooth but still slightly textured. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times to ensure even consistency.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. More lemon or lime juice can be added for extra zing if desired.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and let it sit for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This step can be skipped if pressed for time.
Step 9
Serve the herb sauce over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or use as a dressing for salads.
Step 10
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
