Directions
- Place the garlic, arugula, basil, and juice into a food processor.
- Sprinkle with salt and place the lid on the food processor.
- Set the food processor to high and slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice to ensure everything is mixed. If the mixture is too thick, add in more oil.
