Salsa Verde is a flavorful, versatile Italian sauce traditionally served with Bollito Misto, Boiled Meats. The zesty sauce’s flavor varies by region to region, from Northern Italy all the way down to Sicily. I change the recipe’s acid depending on what I will be eating with the sauce. If it is fish, I use fresh lemon juice. For meats, on the other hand, I prefer white wine vinegar.
