Easy Green Garlic Sauce Recipe (goes with everything!)
This green garlic sauce is an incredible way to switch up your favourite meal, snack, or salad combo instantly. As someone who loves throw-together-in-a-bowl meals, dressings have been a fun way to make my meals taste completely different every time, while still capitalizing on my leftovers - win!
Servings: 6 -8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup hemp seeds
- 1/2-1 cup filtered water
- 2-3 cloves roasted garlic try my oil-free, zero waste method
- handful of fresh parsley - I used about 1/3 cup's worth
- squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- This is an optional first step, but I like to lightly toast my hemp seeds on a pan over low heat (no oil necessary). I do this for a few minutes, stirring constantly, just to add a little toastiness to the hemp seeds, but you can skip this step for sure.
- To a blender, or food processor, combine all of your ingredients except parsley, and blend until completely smooth. I use this Vitamix model, but you can use a nutribullet or similar upside down, smaller unit, which works really well for this sauce, or a food processor. Open and scrape down sides in between blending as needed.
- Once sauce is smooth, add parsley and blend. To make it easy for your blender or processor, I recommend chopping parsley into smaller pieces before blending. I like to blend until almost completely smooth, just to preserve a little bit of the integrity of the leaf.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
Notes
- For a thinner green sauce, add more water. For a thicker sauce, use less.
- If you’re looking for extra umami, stir in a teaspoon of nutritional yeast or miso paste.
