Notes
- If you don't have a food processor, use a high-powered blender. If you don't have either, chop the herbs as finally as possible, mash the avocado with a fork, and mix everything in a bowl.
- Use 2 to 2.5 cups of herbs total. Change up the amounts depending on your preferences. Tarragon is a lovely addition not listed here.
- Keep in the fridge in an airtight container or jar for up to 5 days. I don't recommend freezing it, since the texture will change when thawed.
