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.
