A Few Ideas to Get You Started Stretch homemade pesto and other green sauces by adding a generous amount of Parsley during mixing. Stir Parsley into melted garlic butter for a savory, yet simple, pasta or steamed vegetable topper. Add directly to liquids, cooked foods, melted butter, and salad dressings for a light spicy touch. Try a no salt herb blend by combining 1 tablespoon each Parsley Flakes, marjoram, and thyme. Crush Parsley in your hand or with a mortar and pestle before adding to food. | |
