Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup (packed) Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 whole Jalapeño (optional, for extra zest)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (if needed for consistency)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cilantro, parsley, and mint thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Step 3
If using jalapeño, remove the seeds for a milder flavor or keep them for extra spice. Roughly chop the jalapeño into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Step 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, mint, Greek yogurt, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, jalapeño (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Blend everything on high speed until the sauce is smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Step 7
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
