  2. Pulse until finely chopped but not completely pureed, leaving some texture.
  3. With the motor running, slowly pour in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Transfer to an airtight container, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
  5. Serve over your favorite dishes or spread on bagels with cream cheese and lox for a delightful brunch or lunch.
