Parsley Sauce

Parsley Sauce

This stuff is awesome! It's quick, simple, and makes a bunch so you can freeze some and store it for later. You can use it for so many different things and it's so tasty. I've used this as salad dressing, as a steak sauce, a dip for french fries, as a replacement for mayo on sandwiches, and I'm sure there are a thousand other things you could pair this with. 

The recipe:

1 cup fresh parsley leaves

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup chopped red onion

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2-4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

(optional)

1 tsp-2 tbsp water

Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend until well combined, about 20 seconds.

I left water as optional, depending on what you're using the sauce for. If you want it thicker and more spreadable for sandwiches or like a dip, omit the water entirely. If you want a vinaigrette-like sauce, add as much as 2 tbsp water, and for anything in between start at 1 tsp and add until you reach the desired thickness. For the batch in the picture I used 1 tsp of water.

Enjoy!
