how to use it:

• Dollop on baked salmon, chicken, steak or vegetables
• Use it as a marinade for meat (as none other than Mario Batali does)
• Slather it into any sort of sandwich (like chef Caroline Fidanza of Brooklyn’s Saltie does (recipe below!)

Best of all: it keeps in the fridge for several days or as long as several weeks, if stored in a tightly sealed jar and covered with a layer of oil, like pesto. Here’s one of our favorite salsa verde recipes:
