STEP 1: PREP YOUR INGREDIENTS AND WORK STATION
Before you put your ingredients into your blender, wash and prep your ingredients. Place your fresh herbs in a colander to rinse with cool water, then remove the leaves from the stems. Place your blender on a flat surface and plug it into the outlet.
STEP 2: ADD INGREDIENTS TO YOUR BLENDER
Add your ingredients to your blender, starting with the olive oil and vinegar. Then, add freshly ground spices and garlic cloves to the jar before tossing in the fresh herbs. Secure the blender lid tightly to prevent spillage while blending.
STEP 3: BLEND THE SAUCE
Once you’ve placed all of the ingredients inside your blender, press the start/power button on a low speed to slowly incorporate the herbs, then increase the speed to high and puree until you’ve achieved a smooth consistency. Pour your sauce into a serving bowl and serve alongside grilled meats and vegetables.
