Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the fresh parsley. Remove any tough stems and roughly chop the leaves.

While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth and spreadable consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 5

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the Maidanosalata Parsley Dip Spread to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil on top for garnish, if desired.
