- 3/4 cup fresh mixed greens: parsley, watercress, young spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, tarragon or dill
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ground pepper to taste
- Place the greens and the herb with the egg, egg yolk, and pepper in an electric blender or food processor and blend until the greens are pureed.
- Start adding the oil in a slow, thin stream until the mixture becomes too thick, then add the lemon juice and continue until all the oil is used up.
- If too thick, add a small amount of boiling water.
- Taste and refrigerate in a covered bowl or jar.
Note: This must be used within a few days; after that the greens tend to turn sour. If you plan to keep it longer, blanch the greens for a minute in boiling water, then squeeze dry before using.
(1 3/4 cups)
