- 1 cup (tightly packed) fresh flat-leaf parsley thick stems removed
- 1/2 cup (tightly packed) fresh cilantro thick stems removed
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt see note
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until combined to your desired consistency. Taste & adjust if needed.
- Transfer to a jar or bowl. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature prior to serving, and then store it, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Sea salt and kosher salt are less potent than regular table salt, so keep that in mind and add salt quantities to your personal preferences.
