HOW TO MAKE GREEN SAUCE (VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE
This clean-out-the-fridge green sauce is the perfect way to use up leftover herbs! The recipe is more of a technique than an exact formula. You can use any leafy green herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, basil and/or mint (use just one or a mix!). Feel free to also throw in a few teaspoons of stronger herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, tarragon and/or chives. Garlic first gets blitzed in the food processor, then the herbs are added along with toasted nuts or seeds for body, and acid (in the form of lemon juice, lime juice or vinegar) for brightness. Don't skimp on the nuts, as they're essential for flavor and texture. Olive oil turns the ingredients into a lovely, spoonable sauce. For a lighter version, add a tablespoon or two of water before drizzling in the oil. Be sure to season the sauce well with salt and pepper, and aim for a good balance between the acid and the oil. The sauce is delicious as-is, but definitely check out the variations in the notes below! Spoon green sauce over meats or fish, toss it with pasta, slather it on sandwiches or drizzle it over roasted veggies or grain bowls. If you only have 1/2 cup of herbs or less, you can adapt the recipe using a mini food processor. *Check out my video above to see my herb storage tips!

Steps:
- In a food processor with the blade running, drop the garlic through the feed tube to chop. Add the herbs (whatever you have-feel free to use a mix!) and nuts or seeds. Process until finely chopped.
- Add a splash of lemon juice, lime juice or red wine vinegar. I usually squeeze in the juice of a 1/2 small lemon or lime, or start with about 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar (remember, you can always add more but you can't take it out!). Season with salt and pepper. If using any add-ins, add them now and puree until finely chopped.
- If you prefer a lighter sauce, add a tablespoon or two of water. With the motor running, drizzle in extra virgin olive oil until you get a spoonable, pesto-ish consistency.
- This is the most important step: taste the sauce! This is your time to adjust the seasonings as desired. More nuts will thicken up the sauce, a splash more acid will give the sauce more spunk, and another drizzle of olive oil will round things out. There should be a good balance of flavors, and the final result should taste good to you. If you have the time, let the sauce sit, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Steps:
- MAKE HERBS SAUCE: Finely chop herbs and green onions. Stir together with other dressing ingredients except oil. Slowly whisk in oil. Alternatively (I do this): put all herb dressing ingredients in a processor and pulse to blend well. Or use an immersion blender. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Serve at room temperature.

BLISTERED GREEN BEANS WITH HERB SAUCE
The green sauce in this recipe is similar to pesto, but lacks cheese and has a bigger punch of acidity. The mild flavor of pistachios enhances the natural sweetness of the lightly charred beans, though the more traditional pine nut would also work well for this dish.

Steps:
- Place the shallots in a mortar. Add the salt, and, using the pestle, pound until a paste forms. (If a mortar is unavailable, place the shallots on a cutting board, and sprinkle the salt over the top. Using the side of a chef's knife, crush the shallots against the board. Continue crushing until a paste forms.) Add the pepper and the anchovies, if using. Work mixture, with either pestle or knife, until a paste forms again. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
- Using a small whisk or a fork, mix the oil, the lemon juice, the lemon zest, and the vinegar into the shallot paste.
- Using a large chef's knife, chop the herbs until medium-fine. Add herbs to the bowl with the shallot paste. Add the chives. Using a rubber spatula, gently combine ingredients. Serve sauce the same day.
