Minty Herb-Feta Sauce

A little bit of feta makes this fresh herb sauce richer and adds some tangy flavor, too.



  • 1 cup (1 oz.) packed fresh mint




  • 1 cup (1 oz.) packed fresh flat-leaf parsley




  • 1/2 cup (1/2 oz.) packed fresh cilantro




  • 1/2 cup pine nuts




  • 1 medium clove garlic, smashed




  • 2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest




  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes




  • Kosher salt




  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil




  • 1/4 cup (1 oz.) crumbled feta




  • 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice; more as needed




Pulse the mint, parsley, cilantro, pine nuts, garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a food processor into a coarse purée. While pulsing, add the oil through the feed tube and pulse until combined. Add the feta and lemon juice and pulse a few more times; you want tiny bits of feta visible. Season to taste with more salt or lemon juice.
