Salsa Verde - Traditional Italian Salsa Dip Recipe

Verde Sauce Recipe
Dip recipes vary and you can make hot, chilled, or warm dips. Salsa verde is a traditional Italian dip recipe containing parsley, capers, garlic, olive oil and more. Parsley is a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as heart-friendly folic acid. Good parsley is crisp, fresh, and dark green. You can grow it easily and then you can chop it up and keep it in freezer bags in the freezer.
This is a healthy chilled appetizer recipe. The ingredients for Verde Sauce were chopped by hand in the old days but of course it is simpler to use a food processor or blender now and it certainly saves time. For a chunkier salsa, just pulse the mixture a few times in the machine.

Verde Sauce Recipe

The basic recipe for salsa verde is thought to be two thousand years old and it was brought to Italy by Roman legionnaires, and then the recipe made its way to Germany and France. Mediterranean herbs were not available in Germany at that time so the German version of salsa verde often contains baby spinach, chives, and celery leaves. You can serve dip recipes like salsa verde with meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables because the flavor goes with a lot of different things.
