La Sauce Vierge: Authentic Provençal Recipe

www.lechefswife.com

La Sauce Vierge is a French version of a Salsa, made with diced tomatoes, olives, basil, capers, pine nuts, shallots, lemon zest and olive oil that you will want serve over everything!

This recipe for La Sauce Vierge is an authentic Provençal Recipe from my French Grandmother-in-law, Pierrette.

Shallot Green onions Chives Cherry tomatoes Niçois or Kalamata black olives Capers Basil, Roasted pine nuts Extra virgin olive oil Lemon

Ingredients

STEP 1

Mix the shallot, green onions, chives, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, basil, pine nuts together in a mixing bowl with the ¾ cup of olive oil.

STEP 2

Zeste the lemon into the Vierge Sauce. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the sauce using a strainer to avoid lemon seeds getting into your Vierge!

STEP 3

Mix and set aside.  (Le Chef's note: Vierge sauce is even better made a couple hours in advance, the shallots lose their acidity when resting in the olive oil)
