Ingredients

Handful baby spinach (remove any tough stems and just use the leaves if you have older spinach)
The leaves from a large bunch Parsley and Mint
The leaves from a medium bunch of Basil
1 Tablespoon Capers rinsed of brine or salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 Anchovies from a tin or jar
1 small clove Garlic roughly chopped
3/4 Cup Oil (either a very mild olive oil or vegetable oil)
2 Tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
3/4 Cup Water
Salt and Pepper

  Green Sauce Ingredients 2

This recipe makes a great, vibrant green sauce that is great with steak, chicken and fish and can be mixed with a little Greek yoghurt or mayonnaise to make a great spread for the cold leftover meat or fish in wraps or sandwiches.  It would also go well with falafel or roast vegetable fillings.

The sauce keeps well in the fridge for several days if covered with a thin layer of oil to stop it discolouring.

Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor until you have a relatively smooth sauce.  Taste and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.  The anchovies will add saltiness to the sauce so you may not need extra salt.

You may need to add slightly more oil/vinegar and water to get a smoother and more liquid consistency for pouring depending on how thin you want the sauce and how large your bunches of herbs/spinach are.
