Comments: Salsa Verde simply means "green sauce". Many ethnic cuisines, such as Latin American, French, Italian, have their own version of Salsa Verde. This version is European based. It is great as a dip, slightly warmed and served with raw or steamed vegetables such as fennel, carrots, cauliflower and peppers.
