Pulse blend for 15-30 seconds. The salsa verde should be fairly loose. Add as much olive oil as necessary to achieve a loose consistency, a 1/4 cup at a time. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!
- 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.
