Use any soft herbs to make this zingy green salsa. Drizzle over everything from everything from breakfast eggs and grilled chicken to salads, or treat it like a dip for crisps and crudites.

Finely chop the herbs and put in a bowl with the garlic and your chosen pickled thing. Whisk in the oil, acidic liquid and chilli (if using) and season with a pinch of salt. You could also crush everything together in a pestle and mortar.
