Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by thoroughly washing and drying all the fresh herbs. It's important to remove any excess water to prevent the sauce from becoming too runny.

Step 2

Place the basil, parsley, cilantro, and mint leaves into a food processor or blender.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the food processor along with the herbs.

Step 4

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and red wine vinegar to the herbs and garlic.

Step 5

Pour the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture. This will help blend your sauce smoothly.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and if desired, red pepper flakes for an added kick.

Step 7

Blend or process the mixture on high speed until all the ingredients are smoothly combined. You may need to scrape down the sides a couple of times to ensure everything is well mixed.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more salt, lemon juice, or pepper according to your preference.

Step 9

Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency and flavor, transfer it to an airtight container.

Step 10

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir before using as some separation may occur.
