Juice of a lemon
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup water

Instructions

Remove the stems from the parsley and cilantro. Peel the skin off of the garlic.

Notes

To preserve fresh herbs, make a big batch of herb sauce and freeze it into an ice cube tray. Once frozen, pop the cubes out and keep them in a bag to thaw and use as desired.
Don’t stress too much about the herb quantities. If you roughly follow a 1:2 ratio of parsley to cilantro you’ll be good!
Herb sauce will save for 3-5 days in the fridge. For longer term storage, I recommend freezing it. It thaws quickly at room temperature or in the fridge.
You can adjust the amount of chili flakes depending on the spice levels you like.
