Notes

  • Tips 
  • Weight Watchers Points
  • There are 2 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
  • Cut the butter into cubes so it will melt quicker.
  • I suggest using salted butter. But if you have salt less butter, go ahead and add a pinch of salt.
  • Mix and match the fresh chopped herbs. Rosemary, thyme and sage are all great options. Have fun experimenting with your favourites.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs you can use 1 tsp dried instead.
  • Add in even more lemon if you want it sharper.
  • This sauce needs to be served warm, so simply reheat if it has gone cold.
  • Don’t forget to mix just before serving, as the lemon and herbs tend to settle at the bottom.
  • You can easily halve or double this recipe to make as much or as little needed.
