    How to Make All-Purpose Green Sauce

    1. Combine Herbs and Garlic

    Place the roughly chopped basil, parsley, and chives into a food processor or blender, along with the peeled and smashed garlic cloves and a pinch of black pepper. Pulse briefly to combine without losing their distinct textures.

    2. Add Creaminess

    Add a generous dollop of plain Greek yogurt to the herb blend in the processor. Purée for about a minute until smooth, stopping to scrape down any leaves from the sides as necessary.

    3. Emulsify with Olive Oil

    With the processor running, gradually drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil to emulsify the sauce, giving it a rich and glossy finish.

    4. Season and Finish

    Add the finely grated lemon zest and kosher salt to the sauce. Give it one last pulse to mix them in. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
