Notes
- Use fresh ingredients – use the best fresh herbs, onion, garlic, and the best olive oil you can find for the optimum flavor. Avoid ingredients that are past their prime.
- Process carefully – you don't want to over-process this as you need some texture (it's not a purée).
- Swap the red pepper flakes – use some fresh chili instead.
- Swap the vinegar – replace the vinegar with more lemon juice.
- Storage – keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- There are 4 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
