Notes
- Capers are very salty, so no extra salt was added. Taste test and adjust salt levels accordingly.
- Chili flakes are optional.
- The recipe starts with a 1/2 cup olive oil, but add as much as it takes to create a loose salsa verde that can be spooned easily.
- Salsa verde can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
