We LOVE Chef Dan’s No Waste Salsa Verde Recipe!
Salsa Verde literally means ‘Green Sauce’ and can be made with a variety of herbs, which makes it the perfect recipe to use up your herbs before they go off. It is traditionally served with meat, but it also pairs great with vegetable dishes. So many different cuisines have a variation on the sauce; Britain’s ‘Mint Sauce’, the French ‘Salsa Verte’ and Argentina’s ‘ Chimichurri’; here is ours!
