Salsa Verde (Garlic Parsley Sauce)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup packed minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (preferably, a South American oil, like TerraMater from Chile)
  • Coarse salt (kosher or sea)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 luscious ripe red tomato, peeled, seeded, and finely diced

Recipe Steps

Step 1: Place the parsley and garlic in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a thin stream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the tomato if using.

Step 2: Make within a few hours of serving.

Recipe Tips

Here is a sauce simple enough to complement the chicken without overpowering it, but colorful and flavorful enough to bring it alive.

Although not traditional, often I add a peeled, seeded, finely diced ripe red tomato.
