Recipe: Parsley-Caper Sauce

June 20, 2007 in recipe, sauce, vegan

What sounds fancy and complicated is little more than a glorified vinaigrette. In fact, make it with a whisk or throw it in your blender (preferably a Vita-Mix of course). Either way, the sauce accents vegetables and salads perfectly! And quickly! :)

I made this sauce specifically to top my lovely golden beets. Additionally it was perfect with Quinoa & Potato Croquettes (coming tomorrow!!), making it a lovely fresh dish!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 T. capers, drained
  • 1 T. champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 c. freshly chopped parsley
  • 1/3 c. olive oil
  1. If using a blender, add lemon zest and juice, shallot, capers, and vinegar. Blend well.
  2. Add parsley & olive oil. Blend until nicely emulsified but ingredients are still identifiable.
  3. Serve over or along side vegetables, croquettes, or anything you like.
