Sometimes the best recipes are born from leftovers. In this case, I had too much parsley and waiting to make some sort of pesto out of it, I decided to make a salsa verde. It’s a great accompaniment to meat and pork but also goes well with eggs or as a spread for your turkey sandwich.
Parsley is high in vitamins A,C and K, with great benefits for your bone health. It’s a powerful herb anti-oxidant. It definitely has the Spring-like vibe and I am so ready to welcome Spring!
