A salsa verde comes in many types, with different ingredients depending on the country and region. This green sauce originates in Italy and is a refreshing, slightly sour version of pesto.

It’s wonderfully refreshing because of red wine vinegar or lemon juice, capers, mustard and pickles. These bring out the flavors of fresh basil and parsley even more. These flavors go well with many types of dishes, from grilled meat to fried fish, but also vegetarian dishes like tofu, tempeh or roasted vegetables.
