Ingredients
¾ cup lemon balm leaves firmly packed
⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon green onion
3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped almonds
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon garlic granules
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Rinse lemon balm leaves. Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon more oil at a time if you want it thinner. For more spice add 1 clove fresh garlic.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. If using at a later date taste again to see if you need to add more lemon at that time to refresh it.
