I absolutely love this simple Fresh Lemon Herb Sauce! It’s a summery, heart-healthy delight. This sauce goes really well with cooked and grilled artichokes; it’s a healthier alternative to hollandaise or mayonnaise. It’s also great on steak, grilled fish, pasta… really anywhere you need a savory, herby sauce with the brightness of lemon. Enjoy!

Hi, there! We are staying isolated, so recipes are a great solace. Especially easy and healthy recipes, that we also really enjoy. We both enjoy hummus and look for interesting recipes, mostly from your site. Thank you!
OMG so good. Thanks for the recipe. I served it over spaghetti squash with chicken sausage. 🙂 Very delicious. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Where is all the fat, calories, and sodium coming from?
From the olive oil and salt. When used as a marinade it obviously won’t have nearly as many calories, but when used as a sauce the calorie count is dependent on how much you add to whatever you are eating. This is portioned for 8 servings.
