Secret Green Sauce

Secret Green Sauce

Makes: 1 250 ml jar

Takes: 5 minutes

Note: I've been making this sauce on and off for awhile now. It's best in the spring/early summer when there's fresh herbs and greens. I don't make this sauce the same every time, and I never weigh out or measure it. That's part of it's secret, it's always unique. I'll list off the typical ingredients I use, but there really isn't a right or wrong for this sauce. My rule is, if its green, add it. Just make sure to use only tender greens and herbs that aren't to fibrous.

Uses: Honestly this sauce is good on everything! It's a sauce for all types of tacos, a spread on sourdough toast, a green "ketchup" for grilled cheese, a sauce for burgers, and great with fish. 

              

Ingredients:

• Arugula
• Baby spinach
• Oregano 
• Cilantro
• Basil
• Parsley
• Jalapeno 
• Garlic
• Lemon zest + Juice
• Olive oil
• White wine vinegar
• Avocado
• Salt & Pepper

Method:

1. If you have an immersion blender, find a straight sided mason jar that will fit it, mine is 500 ml. If not, a blender should work fine.  
2. Wash and prepare all the ingredients you want to add. I usually always add 1/4 of an avocado, zest and juice of half a lemon, a splash of vinegar, a garlic clove and a good glug of olive oil. Then I fill the jar with a mixture of herbs and tender greens until the jar is full. If using a blender, fill half way. 
3. Once every thing is packed in, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and start blending. You may need to loosen the mixture up with a bit of water, I usually add about a tablespoon to start, and go from there. 
   
   
4. Once it's blended nice and smooth, check the seasonings and adjust to your liking. Scrape the sides down and transfer to a 250 ml jar and store in the fridge. 

Enjoy!
