Super Easy Super Green Sauce Recipe

I love this green sauce so much I want to put it on everything!

During shelter in place I have been feeling a bit lazy about getting my leafy greens in. And some times I am just really not in a salad or sauté mood.

This green sauce is excellent "vegetable insurance" to make sure I get a dose of nutrient density with my meal. All it takes is a little bit of effort up front for a big payoff later.
Ingredients:
​1 bunch cilantro
½ bunch parsley
1 bunch basil
1 cup arugula
⅓ cup hemp seeds
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ tsp salt + more to taste

​¼ tsp granulated garlic
​¼ cup olive oil
3 tsp vinegar
2 tsp lemon/lime


Bouquet of parsley, cilantro and basil with cat look up at it
leafy green vegetables in vitamix blender
Instructions:
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor until well combined. About 4 minutes.

Enjoy as a dip, spread, pesto or sauce!

Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
 Ways I like to enjoy the super easy super green sauce:
-Green sauce chicken salad by mixing chopped chicken in this sauce and having it on crackers or on top of a salad.
-Spread on a sandwich.
-Pesto on pizza.
-Dip for crackers or vegetables.
-Spread in a wrap.

This recipe is also very flexible! Sometimes I will add avocado for a more creamy texture. If you are not a cilantro fan, you can also swap it out for extra basil or arugula.
