Best Green Sauces For Grilling Recipes
CHEF JOHN'S GREEN SAUCE
This is about as primitive as it gets. Take some garlic, capers, anchovy, and parsley, and smash it up in a molcajete. Add a little oil and vinegar, possibly a pinch of salt and pepper, and you have maybe the world's greatest grilled meat condiment. nI guessed at these amounts as this is not a recipe that requires precise measurements; do everything to taste.

GOOD-ON-EVERYTHING GREEN SAUCE
Drizzle this bright, herby sauce over grilled fish, poultry, grain bowls or roasted vegetables. It also makes a tangy dip for crudités or poached shrimp. We like the combination of parsley and chives here, but feel free to use any soft herbs like basil, cilantro, dill or mint. Baby spinach is the key to giving this yogurt-based sauce a lovely green color, but you can also use baby arugula or kale.

ALL-PURPOSE GREEN SAUCE
This tangy, creamy sauce is the perfect home for all those extra herbs you may have on hand from other recipes - that leftover sprig of mint, the stemmy part of that bunch of cilantro, the droopy basil. You can use any combination of soft herbs here; you'll need two packed cups altogether. And you don't have to limit yourself to herbs. Other flavorful, leafy options include arugula, celery leaves or pea shoots. For a vegan version, skip the yogurt and use more olive oil, along with a small squeeze of lemon for some acidity.

Steps:
- Place herbs, garlic and pepper in a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container if necessary.
- Add yogurt and purée until smooth. (This may take a minute or so; scrape down the sides of the container as needed.) With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Pulse in lemon zest and salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Spoon over grilled or roasted chicken, seafood (especially shrimp and salmon), sausages, steaks, lamb chops and vegetables. Use as a marinade for chicken, lamb or pork; as a dressing for starchy salads with beans, potatoes or grains, or for hearty vegetable salads, like those with cucumbers or blanched and sliced sugar snap peas or green beans. Serve as a dip for crudité or chips. Spread in roast beef, lamb or pork sandwiches.
GREEN SAUCE
Just like the Mexican Restaurants around here. I like my green sauce creamy, the tomatillos in this recipe keep the avocado from going brown for a couple days in the fridge. It doesn't usually last that long!
