This dreamy green dressing is full of creamy avocado goodness and the unmistakable brightness of fresh herbs — it’s the kind of dressing that brings a plain bowl of leaves to life. The secret? Really good parsley.

Make this!

This sauce is smooth, luscious and herbaceous — just the kind of thing I love to keep in the fridge.

A fabulous parsley sauce that can easily double up as a punchy dressing – it will make anything you drizzle it on taste better. Best of all it takes 5 minutes to make and can be stored in the fridge for a week.

Why organic parsley

Most supermarket herbs are grown in hydroponic hot houses, often under artificial light, never touching real soil. The result? Herbs that look the part but are often watery, bland and short-lived.

Organic parsley, on the other hand, is grown in soil, ripened under the sun, and packed with flavour and nutrients. Once you taste the difference, there’s no going back.

Organic Thai limes

In this dressing I added Thai limes (also called kaffir or makrut limes), which have such a distinct, fragrant flavour. If you can get your hands on them, they really lift the sauce.

Is it a sauce or dressing?

I say sauce, but actually it can be a dressing too. Simply add a splash more water, adjust the seasoning and ‘voilà’ — you’ve got yourself a fabulous green dressing.
