Servings:
1 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 small shallot, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup loosely packed parsley leaves, divided
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup basil leaves
  • ½ cup light olive oil
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ avocado
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chervil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the shallot, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, purée the parsley, cilantro and basil on medium speed. Slowly add the olive oil and blend, stopping to scrape down the sides, until the mixture becomes a smooth, bright green purée. Add the reserved shallot mixture and purée until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Slowly add the herb oil, drop by drop, in a thin, steady stream until it begins to emulsify into a mayonnaise-like consistency. Continue adding the olive oil, whisking constantly, until all the olive oil is incorporated. Stir in the water to thin out the mayonnaise. Smash the avocado into the mayonnaise using a fork or whisk, then whisk in the tarragon and chervil. Season with salt and pepper.
