Best The Only Green Sauce You Need Recipes
THE ONLY GREEN SAUCE YOU NEED
From Sarah Copeland's: Every Day is Saturday. I love the versatility of this sauce - I find myself dipping carrots into it when I need a snack to slathering it over toast for lunch to tossing it with grilled shrimp for dinner. Avocado: I love the creaminess the avocado lends here, but in place of it you could use something, as Sarah says, "with body." She offers miso, nuts, and tahini as alternatives to the avocado. I've been cutting 1 avocado in half and using the smaller half for this recipe.

Steps:
- Add the greens (stems and all), chives, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, avocado, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Pulse until broken down - add water by the tablespoon as needed to thin and get the blade whirring. Scrape down and pulse again until the sauce is broken down and easy to dollop with a spoon. Taste. Adjust taste as needed with more lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust consistency with more water or olive oil by the tablespoon.
- bring a small (or large depending on how many eggs you are cooking) pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot of boiling water. Adjust heat so water is gently simmering. Cook 7 minutes. Transfer eggs to ice bath.
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon (or more depending on how many slices of bread you are toasting) of olive oil. Toast bread on each side for 1-2 minutes, checking often to ensure the slices are browning evenly. Remove toast when the slices are golden and crisped to your liking.
- Smear green sauce over a slice of toast. Peel an egg. Cut it directly over the slice of toast into quarters. Sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with any remaining slices of toast and eggs.
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.
