About Salsa verde

Salsa verde means green sauce and refers to a variable family of sauces rather than one fixed recipe. Different culinary traditions and products use different ingredients, so the name alone does not establish whether it is herb-based, vegetable-based, or made in another style.

It is served as a condiment or sauce with other foods. Its colour is generally green, while its texture may be smooth or chunky and its flavour may be fresh, tangy, savoury, or hot according to the formulation.
