Notes
- Red wine vinegar is the best substitute for sherry vinegar. Apple cider vinegar works, too. Avoid using white vinegar as the flavor is too strong.
- If you'd rather not use a knife to mince the parsley and garlic, you can put the ingredients into your food processor and blend them. Just be careful not to blend them too much as you want the sauce to be a bit chunky.
