Salsa Verde

This classic salsa verde is a vibrant, herb-heavy condiment that brings a bright and punchy flavour to a wide variety of meals. Packed with fresh flat-leaf parsley, mint and coriander, the sauce is balanced by the salty depth of capers and a gentle heat from the red chilli. It is an incredibly versatile vegan-friendly staple that relies on high-quality extra-virgin olive oil to create a silky, pourable texture.

Whether you are serving it alongside roasted vegetables, stirred into a grain salad, or used as a dip for crusty sourdough, this homemade sauce is a fantastic way to use up garden herbs. It takes only minutes to prepare and actually improves with a little resting time, making it an excellent make-ahead option for busy weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings.

How to make Salsa Verde

Combine anchovies (if using), garlic, capers, and chilli in a mortar or food processor. Pound with a pestle or process until a chunky paste forms. Add herbs and stir to combine. Remove pestle or transfer paste to a bowl. Using a fork, slowly whisk in oil to make sauce. Season to taste with salt, if desired. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes while flavours meld.
