Ingredients

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 red jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • ¾ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¾ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 3 Tsp. kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 Tsp. lemon juice

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Whisk together and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • You can eat it right away, but it's always better after it sits for an hour or so.

Notes

Notes: If you can’t find a red jalapeño, try a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes instead. If you can’t find shallots, try using red onions instead. Season with salt to taste.
