SALSA VERDE (ITALIAN GREEN SAUCE)



Salsa Verde (Italian Green Sauce) image

This sauce from the Lombardy region of Italy is a fantastic companion to meat. A dollop on top is all you need! I also mix this with plain pasta as a variation on basil pesto. There are a number of different ways to do this. Optional basil and mint or dijon mustard or parmesan cheese can be added, but here's the basic recipe.
