Italian Verde Sauce w/ Anchovies & Capers
Italian Verde Sauce - Recipe by Trish Keefer
This delicious sauce can double as a dressing and a sauce depending on what you are making. I use it on lamb, steak, fish, eggs, and as a salad dressing. The depth of flavor from the ingredients elevates anything you add it to, and a tablespoon goes a long way!
