Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil, or avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or other herbs of choice
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions 

  • In a medium size bowl whip the butter with a fork until fluffy.
  • Add in the olive oil, parsley, minced garlic, and garlic salt. Continue to whip until well combined.
  • Serve with your favorite bread, sautéed with vegetables, or over your favorite protein.

Notes

Fridge: Store it in an airtight container for up to 7 days. While the oil will help it spread even after being refrigerated, it's best if you can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using.
Freezer: Transfer it to a freezer bag or container for up to 6 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge or on the counter for 30 minutes.
