Notes
- Use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- The method you use to blend your herbs together will affect the consistency of your green seasoning. A blender will give you a smooth puree whereas a food processor will give you more of a chunky, full-bodied blend.
- This recipe is very open to experimentation. Use as much or as little of each ingredient as you prefer or have on hand and feel free to add in any herbs you enjoy (such as the optional ones I've listed in the ingredient list).
