Description
Italian salsa verde — flat-leaf parsley, capers, anchovies, garlic, mustard, and olive oil — is a cold sauce of concentrated savoury depth that serves as both a condiment and a marinade. Unlike French salsa verte, the Italian version uses capers and anchovy as a foundational ingredient rather than an accent, producing a sauce that is intensely savoury without any single component dominating. It is the umami-dense sauce that requires no cooking.
