Tips & Variations
- Cilantro twist: Swap parsley for cilantro for a bolder, earthy flavor.
- Add some heat: Stir in a minced chili or a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
- Thicker texture: Use slightly less oil and add a spoonful of Greek yogurt for extra tang.
- Roasted garlic version: Roast the garlic before blending for a milder, caramelized flavor.
- Serving ideas: Use as a dip for pita, a burger spread, or drizzle over grilled chicken. You can even thin it out to make a delicious salad dressing.
Storage
Keep the sauce in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days. Avoid freezing, as the emulsion can break when thawed. Always use a clean spoon to help extend its freshness.
