Fresh Garlic Herb Sauce is a blend of fresh herbs, garlic and a splash of olive oil & vinegar. It’s a delightful way to enjoy the light taste of summer.
Plus it whips up in minutes and is great on chicken, pasta, even as a flavorful salad dressing!

I enjoy making a quick Garlic/Herb sauce using fresh herbs & garlic blended with olive oil and white wine vinegar. The result is a fresh, crisp flavor to add punch to any number of dishes.
I’ve used it as a topping for enchiladas and other Tex-Mex meals. I’ve also used it atop homemade Ravioli. Come see how easy it is to make!
Fresh Herbs For More Flavorful Dishes
Herbs grow so easily that I always have plenty. And I mean P-L-E-N-T-Y! So I’m constantly either harvesting & using or drying and preserving those herbs for cooking all year long.
But I’ve found my new favorite way to use handfuls of these herbs and enjoy a delightfully fresh way to make supper easier and more delicious.
Fresh.
Garlic.
Herb.
Sauce.
I initially got this recipe over at HelloGlow and of course changed it to best suit our needs.
The recipe is basically equal measures of olive oil and white wine. (or wine vinegar if you wish). Then you just plunk in 3 peeled garlic cloves and about 3/4 to 1 cup of fresh herbs.
You can use whatever herbs you prefer or whatever you have growing at the time. I like to use several different herbs together – rosemary, thyme, basil, sage and oregano.
I tried squeezing a little lime juice in the sauce but I didn’t personally care for it that way. Still if you like lime, squeeze a little in for a limey zing! But in the recipe below I’ve not included lime.
Easy Instructions To Make Garlic Herb Sauce
In your *Ninja Blender (or food processor) measure out olive oil and white wine. Add peeled garlic and fresh herb leaves, washed & patted dry.
Pulse until garlic cloves are completely blended. Sometimes I’ll toss in some dehydrated peppers from the garden for a subtle punch of spice.
Done & done!
How To Serve Garlic Herb Sauce
This garlic herb sauce can be stored in the fridge for about a week. So I like to use it throughout the week to simplify my supper preparations.

I’ve got everything except for the Rosemary – will look to plant some for next year. Do you peel off the thyme and oregano leaves or do you grind up the tender stems with the leaves on them? I like to keep things simple if I can.
Also wanted to let you know that I planted potatoes as per one of your articles and they actually grew! I had some large ones but mainly medium size to small and they were great. Hard to believe that two leftover potatoes in the pantry could make me so happy!
I love Rosemary too Ellen. Not only for the taste & smell of it, but the plant is a beautiful evergreen & our honeybees love it! I typically pull the stems from all my herbs when making this garlic/herb sauce. I want the sauce to blend pretty smoothly. Having said that, if the stems for your thyme & oregano are very tender and will blend smooth I don’t see why you have to fuss too much with removing all of them. Oh, and I love, love, LOVE your potato success story. You. GO. Girl!! ~TxH~
