  1. Wash 1 cup of fresh parsley, 1/2 cup of fresh chives, 1/4 cup of fresh chervil, 1/4 cup of fresh tarragon, and 2 tablespoons of fresh borrage (or substitute with more parsley) thoroughly under cold water. Gently pat dry with paper towels and finely chop.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped herbs with 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of capers (drained), 1 hard-boiled egg (finely chopped), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Optionally, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped lettuce or leeks for extra freshness and flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Serve immediately or chill for later. This versatile sauce pairs wonderfully with cooked beef, fish, poultry, hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs, and is particularly delicious with cooked asparagus.
