HOW TO MAKE GREEN SAUCE (VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE
This clean-out-the-fridge green sauce is the perfect way to use up leftover herbs! The recipe is more of a technique than an exact formula. You can use any leafy green herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, basil and/or mint (use just one or a mix!). Feel free to also throw in a few teaspoons of stronger herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, tarragon and/or chives. Garlic first gets blitzed in the food processor, then the herbs are added along with toasted nuts or seeds for body, and acid (in the form of lemon juice, lime juice or vinegar) for brightness. Don't skimp on the nuts, as they're essential for flavor and texture. Olive oil turns the ingredients into a lovely, spoonable sauce. For a lighter version, add a tablespoon or two of water before drizzling in the oil. Be sure to season the sauce well with salt and pepper, and aim for a good balance between the acid and the oil. The sauce is delicious as-is, but definitely check out the variations in the notes below! Spoon green sauce over meats or fish, toss it with pasta, slather it on sandwiches or drizzle it over roasted veggies or grain bowls. If you only have 1/2 cup of herbs or less, you can adapt the recipe using a mini food processor. *Check out my video above to see my herb storage tips!

Steps:
- In a food processor with the blade running, drop the garlic through the feed tube to chop. Add the herbs (whatever you have-feel free to use a mix!) and nuts or seeds. Process until finely chopped.
- Add a splash of lemon juice, lime juice or red wine vinegar. I usually squeeze in the juice of a 1/2 small lemon or lime, or start with about 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar (remember, you can always add more but you can't take it out!). Season with salt and pepper. If using any add-ins, add them now and puree until finely chopped.
- If you prefer a lighter sauce, add a tablespoon or two of water. With the motor running, drizzle in extra virgin olive oil until you get a spoonable, pesto-ish consistency.
- This is the most important step: taste the sauce! This is your time to adjust the seasonings as desired. More nuts will thicken up the sauce, a splash more acid will give the sauce more spunk, and another drizzle of olive oil will round things out. There should be a good balance of flavors, and the final result should taste good to you. If you have the time, let the sauce sit, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

- Add everything, except the capers, and only half of the water to a food processor and process to the kind of texture you want. You can serve this sauce smooth or chunky. To keep it chunkier it's better to pulse the food processor rather than run it on full power. If you want it really, really smooth then you could use a high powered blender instead.
- Add the remaining water gradually, pulsing in between additions until you get the thickness you want.
- Add the capers and pulse again a few times to break them up into small pieces. Little chunks of them are nice so don't obliterate them.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Go easy on the salt and taste as you go because the capers are quite salty. It's best to stir it in unless you don't mind the sauce getting blended a bit more.
