Why This Recipe Works

This vibrant, Italian-style salsa verde is packed with grassy parsley, fragrant mint, extra-virgin olive oil, tangy vinegar, briny capers, and a hint of garlic. Traditionally, salsa verde is made with parsley and sometimes with additional tender herbs. We chose mint to heighten the more assertive aromatic qualities of the sauce, making it a perfect foil for the rich, meaty flavors of Porchetta Abruzzese or other roasted meats. We also love this salsa verde drizzled or spread onto almost anything that could use a bright kick, from fish and chicken to roasted vegetables or even a cold-cuts sandwich or a fresh salad.

Instructions

Pulse all ingredients in food processor until finely chopped, about 10 pulses, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer mixture to bowl and adjust consistency with extra oil, if desired. (Salsa verde can be refrigerated for up to 4 days; bring to room temperature before serving.)
