    Place the chopped vegetables into a blender. Add the extra virgin olive oil (60ml) and sherry vinegar (30ml).

  3. Mark step 3 done

    Blend on high speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, blend in a small amount of water (1dl).
