Salsa Verde for Every Day and Every Food!!!!


During our first week's foray into low carb eating, I came across this delicious and easy dressing/dip/sauce!! It's amazing! The flavors lend themselves to just about anything you could think of! I first made it as an accompaniement to some grilled pork tenderloin. Then, the next day, on a whim, I brought some to work in a little dish to have with my raw veggies. We've also spooned it over scrambled eggs, used it as a salad dressing, and mixed it with egg yolk for devilled eggs!! Can you think of anything this versatile!??? Give it a try, and let me know how you liked it!

Salsa Verde

1 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves and stems
1/2 cu flat-loeaf parsley leaves and stems
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp finely chopped onion (I like to use shallots)
1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice (1 lime)
1-2 cloves finely choped garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper

Throw everything into the food processor, and pulse until creamy. Keeps forever in the fridge, but I guarantee it won't last!!
