Oats Free Parsley & Garlic Herb Sauce
Bright, garlicky, and loaded with fresh herb flavor, this parsley and garlic sauce is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. A slow drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil blended with flat-leaf parsley, raw garlic, lemon juice, and a whisper of turmeric creates a coarse, spoonable paste that's bold without being heavy. Because it's built entirely from whole, fresh ingredients — no grains, no fillers, no thickeners — it's naturally free from the hidden grain-based additives that can sneak into store-bought herb sauces and dressings. The food processor does all the heavy lifting, so you go from a pile of fresh herbs to a vibrant, restaurant-worthy sauce in just a few minutes. Spoon it over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or fish, swirl it into soups, or use it as a punchy sandwich spread — it's endlessly versatile. A squeeze of extra lemon or a pinch more salt at the end lets you dial the flavor exactly where you want it before serving.

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.
