Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Herbs and Aromatics
Wash the parsley thoroughly, pat it dry, and remove any thick stems. Roughly chop the parsley, garlic cloves, capers, and anchovy fillets.
Combine Ingredients
In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped parsley, garlic, capers, anchovy fillets (if using), the soaked and squeezed bread, and Dijon mustard.
Blend to a Paste
Pulse the mixture a few times until roughly chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until a smooth, vibrant green sauce forms. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
Season and Adjust
Taste the salsa verde and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. If it's too thick, add a little more olive oil or a tiny splash of water. If you prefer a tangier sauce, add a few more drops of red wine vinegar.
Serve or Store
Transfer the Salsa Verde to a serving bowl. It can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best flavor, bring it to room temperature before serving.
