🏆 Expert Tips. What to Pay Attention To?

• Use fresh parsley and fresh garlic because they will give the best flavor to the sauce. Avoid using dried herbs or pre-chopped garlic, as they won’t have the same impact.
• While the recipe provides measurements for the ingredients, it’s important to adjust them to your liking. Start with the recommended amounts and add more of any ingredient to suit your taste.
• To ensure all the ingredients are well combined, and the sauce has a smooth texture, use a whisk or blender to mix everything together.
• Let the sauce chill – After making the sauce, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
• Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Be sure to stir it well before using, as the ingredients may separate over time.
