Almond and Parsley Salsa Verde image

The reason I'm calling this salsa verde and not pesto is because whenever you say pesto, people instantly think of the traditional version with the pine nuts and basil. I'm using the term salsa verde the way it's used around northern California. It's a very generic term for any fresh green sauce, usually starring some type of herb, but also can be made with spinach, arugula, etc.

This salsa verde is okay, but it's not my favorite. I prefer a more traditional recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salsa verde turned out bitter. I think I might have used too much parsley.
