vegetarian dairy_free gluten_free nut_free soy_free blender
  • 3/4 cup cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 organic egg
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped continental parsley
  • 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • pinch of Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  1. Place egg, lemon juice and mustard in your blender (I use a Vitamix) and puree until well combined.
  2. With the blender still running slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream until the mixture emulsifies.
  3. Add in the herbs and spinach until thick and creamy.

If the mixture gets too thick, add in some more olive oil or a little bit of cold filtered water. Season to taste and serve immediately or on the same day. Go Green!

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Piggy Cooking Tips

the best way to clean your blender

After blending up something sticky, gooey or smelly, just place a few drops of soap in the carriage with some warm water and blend on high until all of the congealed food slips away from the blades and sides. Then repeat this process. Then rinse with water and presto! Clean carriage. 
If you have smells or stains repeat this process with some bicarbonate of soda or lemon juice and water.
