Fructose Free Parsley & Garlic Herb Sauce
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic, this vibrant green sauce is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Flat-leaf parsley and fresh lemon do the heavy lifting here, with a whisper of turmeric adding warmth and a gorgeous golden undertone to the finished paste. For anyone navigating fructose sensitivity, finding a ready-made sauce without hidden high-fructose ingredients or sneaky sweeteners can feel like a minefield — this one keeps things clean and completely in your control. The food processor does all the work in minutes, pulling everything into a coarse, spoonable texture that clings beautifully to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread. Extra-virgin olive oil binds it all together into something that feels far more luxurious than the short ingredient list suggests. Make a jar on Sunday and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.

6 servings
- 2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, loosely packed
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the parsley, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, turmeric, and basil (if using) to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 8–10 times until the herbs are finely chopped and the garlic is broken down, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.

With the processor running, pour the olive oil through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream until the sauce comes together into a coarse, spoonable paste — it should hold its shape on a spoon but not be completely smooth.
