  3. 3Change the parsley to cilantro, the lemon to lime, the olive oil to tomatillos, and the capers and anchovy for onion and jalape o to make a basic Mexican salsa verde.
  4. 4Combine parsley, lemon zest, and garlic to make Italian gremolata.
  5. 5Add cilantro, olive oil, cumin, and green chili to the gremolata base to make the spicy green Zhoug from Yemen.

Tips

  • The "Swamp Thing" has a very generic green flavor, tasting like a combination of all the green sauces.
