½ lemon, juiced
05 -
½ cup cilantro leaves (or parsley)
06 -
Salt and pepper to taste
# Step-by-Step Directions:

02 -
Blend all the ingredients until smooth.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Add a tablespoon or two of water or olive oil to thin the sauce, if required.

# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Customize it: Feel free to add lime juice, jalapeño for heat, or a dash of cumin for extra flavor. If you are not a cilantro lover, swap it for parsley or basil!
02 -
Thin it out: If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a tablespoon or two of water or olive oil while blending.
03 -
To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce before sealing the container. It should last in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Best enjoyed fresh, as it may lose color and flavor over time. Not suitable for freezing.
