This dairy-free herb butter recipe by Alessandro Vitale from his cookbook Low Waste Kitchen is simple, quick, and super versatile. Made with fresh herbs, lemon zest, and plant-based butter, it’s perfect for spreading on warm bread, melting over veggies, or adding a pop of flavor to pasta, soups, or sauces. The mix comes together in just 15 minutes and is put into a log shape for easy storage.
It’s a great way to dress up a plain plant-based butter and make the most of whatever herbs you have on hand — chives, parsley, dill, or tarragon all work well. You can keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze it for up to three months, so it’s ready whenever you need a flavor boost. Whether you’re building a sandwich, roasting potatoes, or making a quick sauce, this herb butter adds an easy, aromatic upgrade to your meals.
