Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup capers
- 2 large lemons juiced and zested
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
Instructions
- To a blender, add the parsley, emon juice, lemon zest, capers, chili flakes, garlic, and 1/2 cup of olive oil.
- Pulse for 15-30 seconds then begin to add more olive oil as needed to achieve a loose consistency, about 1/4 cup at a time.
Notes
- Capers are very salty, so no extra salt was added. Taste test and adjust salt levels accordingly.
- Chili flakes are optional.
- The recipe starts with a 1/2 cup olive oil, but add as much as it takes to create a loose salsa verde that can be spooned easily.
- Salsa verde can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
