Gluten Free Parsley & Garlic Herb Sauce
Bright, garlicky, and loaded with fresh parsley, this herb sauce is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. The combination of lemon juice, lemon zest, and a whisper of turmeric gives it a complexity that goes way beyond a basic green sauce — there's citrus brightness, earthy warmth, and a little bite from the raw garlic all at once. Because it's built entirely from whole, naturally gluten-free ingredients like extra-virgin olive oil and fresh herbs, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking in. The food processor does most of the work, bringing everything together into a coarse, spoonable paste that's rustic and satisfying rather than overly refined. Drizzle it over roasted vegetables, grilled proteins, grain bowls, or even a simple piece of crusty bread if that's your thing. It comes together in minutes and keeps beautifully in a jar, so you can make a batch and reach 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.
