Why We Love Olive Salsa Verde
The reason we love this salsa is first it’s saltiness is balanced perfectly with the parsley and the white wine vinegar. The flavors come together and immediately give a big flavor infusion to anything you add it to.
It also comes together fairly easily. The hardest part about this recipe is chopping up the olives. Outside of that you are just combining everything into a bowl and giving it a little bit of time to come together.
We love recipes that bring different flavors together but also don’t involve too much work for the big reward.
