Ingredients
Herbs
- ½ cup packed fresh mint leaves
- 3 sprigs flat leaf parsley, leaves only
Produce
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Other
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the herbs and apple: Rinse the mint leaves and parsley, pat dry, and remove the leaves from parsley stems. Core and slice the Granny Smith apple into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Combine ingredients in blender: Add the mint, parsley leaves, apple slices, extra-virgin olive oil, and fresh lemon juice into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth: Pulse and blend the ingredients until the sauce reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Taste and adjust seasoning: Optionally season with a pinch of salt or more lemon juice to balance the flavors according to your preference.
- Serve or store: Use the mint apple sauce immediately as a fresh condiment, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
