Thoroughly wash the herbs. Shake off residual water, but you don’t need to hand-dry them or run them through a salad spinner if you don’t want to.

If the variety of herbs you’re using have woody stems, remove the stems and discard them.

Drizzle in the olive oil while the processor is running, then add salt to taste.

Great idea! I often take my pesto and thin it with extra oil to make a drizzle or dressing. I never thought of skipping the “make pesto” step!
