Almond Salsa Verde Recipe

 Even here in the blistering cold hinterlands signs of spring are appearing. And by that I mean good signs, like green grass and small, precious blossoms on trees. Until now signs of spring have primarily been represented by 25 foot levees built to hold back the winter melt-off that has turned our rivers into something that would rival the confluence of the Mississippi and the Amazon. Friends and family who call mainly want to know if all the snow has melted and for the first time in 7 months I can emphatically say, YES!

I have yet to plant a seedling (that won’t happen until after Memorial Day) or break out my grill, but spring flavors are slowly creeping their way into the kitchen. Little hints of brightness have appeared on cold-weather stalwarts like roast chicken and creamy, pureed soups.

I got it in my head that a fresh salsa verde might be a nice introduction to the lighter flavors of spring. Just a touch of something summery and vivid, to liven up the tone of our meals. I served this salsa with roast chicken and it was gone in one meal, but it’s piquant flavors would compliment any roasted or grilled meat. Other uses might be beaten into soft goat cheese and spread on crisp bread, swirled into soup, piled high with a little sour cream on a baked potato, really the options are endless.

It takes a bit of chopping, but instead of spending hours on the main course, prepare a fast grilled steak and serve it with this salsa, just as much flavor in half the time.
