1⁄2 – 1 lemon
1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup basil
1 cup cilantro
1 cup mint
1⁄4 cup walnuts, shelled

Add herbs, olive oil, 1⁄2 of the lemon, salt and walnuts to a food processor or blender. Blend well and taste. Adjust with the other half of the lemon, if you wish. Store in an airtight container. It will last longer if the oil covers the herbs – you can add more when storing. Stir well before using.
