“The key here is simple and fresh quality ingredients. Parsley and mint are a great combination but if you are feeling adventurous you can add any herbs you have on hand, such as basil, dill, or cilantro. The anchovies can be omitted for those of us who are vegetarians. A food processor will combine the ingredients to a finer sauce texture while a mortar and pestle will give a more rounded artisanal variation of textured layers.” – MillPress |

Instructions
- Chop the garlic finely, place the anchovies (if using) and capers on top before finely chopping together. Separately, chop roughly the herbs, then mix them into the caper mixture. Finely chop everything together.
- Place everything into a good-sized mixing bowl, stir in the vinegar, lemon zest, and juice. Season with a little salt and pepper, then slowly stir in the oil in a steady, even flow. The salsa verde will keep well for several days in a jar in a refrigerator.
