Equipment

Vitamix

Method

Add the parsley, cilantro, oregano, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, red onion, garlic, jalapeño, salt, and pepper to the Vitamix. Pulse on low, using the tamper to push ingredients into the blades. Process for 1–2 minutes, then increase to medium and blend for another minute.
Reduce to low speed and slowly drizzle the olive oil through the lid opening. Blend until combined — you want small bits of green still visible. Don’t overblend.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Bring to room temperature before using.

Notes
Garlic: Start with 3–4 cloves for a milder flavor, up to 6 if you want it assertive.
Consistency: Aim for slightly chunky and oily — not smooth. This is a condiment, not a puree.
No Vitamix? A food processor works fine.
Storage: Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Is this possible without oil? Sub aquafaba perhaps?
Also, I didn’t realize that I got 6 months of free support after buying my vitsmix…which I got for mothers day. Where do I login for support,? Thx!

This looks super yummy!
Q: what is the equivalent of “variable speed 1” on a Pro 750 (I only have one vitamix….)

  You have a Pro 750? Then you have Variable Speed 1!
  
  Turn the dial to “1” and press the start button. 🙂
