Herb Rub

We love this rub on chicken! I always have some in my fridge & I just rub it on the chicken & grill it. We like it served on a green salad! Yum! Can also use it on steak, veggies & fish! So versatile, don't you think? =)

1/2 C. fresh Cilantro leaves or 1/4 C. dried
1/2 C. fresh Basil leaves or 1/4 C. dried
1/2 C. fresh Parsley leaves or 1/4 C. dried
1/4 C. olive oil
1/4 C. canola oil
2 T. salt
1 T. Paprika
1 1/2 t. black pepper
2 T. garlic powder
2 T. onion powder

If using fresh herbs, combine all in food processor. If using dried, just mix in a plastic container that you can store it in. Store in Refrigerator up to 3 weeks in non-reactive container.
* I didn't notice any difference in using the fresh herbs. I was hoping there would be a big difference especially after spending all that money on the fresh herbs, but there wasn't. Dried is easier to do, cheaper & more convienient.
