Basic Herb Salsa

Basic Herb Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 cup finely chopped marjoram (1 ¾ ounces)
• 1 ½ teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 1 small lemon)
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt, more to taste ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, more to taste

Instructions

Step 1:
Combine parsley, zest, salt and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl. Use a rasp grater to finely grate garlic into the bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 2:
Just before serving, stir in vinegar. Taste and adjust salt and acid as needed. (Acid will dull the vibrant flavor and color of the herbs over time, so if you plan to store some of the sauce for future use, add acid to only the portion you're using. Sauce, without vinegar, will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before using.)
