Ingredients

Portuguese salsa verde, also known as “Molho Verde” in Portuguese, is another variation of salsa verde. “Molho” means “sauce” and “Verde” – “green”.

The ingredients used in Portuguese salsa verde typically include fresh parsley, onion, garlic, olive oil, vinegar (often red wine vinegar), and salt. Typically, you can add this sauce to all your favorite meals for finishing the dish and presentation itself.

To make salsa verde, you need to clean, wash and chop the parsley leaves finely. Also, chop the onion. After,Β you can mix olive oil and red wine vinegar together and then added chopped onion and parsley until the desired consistency is reached. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Absolutely, you can use fresh lemon or lime juice. Alternatively, you can use white wine vinegar.

Portuguese salsa verde is known for its vibrant green color and its tangy savory flavor. It adds a refreshing flavor to grilled beef or chicken, as well as seafood dishes. I also like to use it as a dipping sauce for a fresh piece of bread or serve it on top of boiled red potatoes.

Yes, you can also add other herbs and spices to the salsa such as garlic, oregano, coriander leaves, and whatever you prefer.

Alternatively, you can serve this salsa with octopus in port wine. Adding this green sauce to a soup will give more flavor, too.
