This is my go to salsa verde when I want something bright and fresh but don't have much time. It comes together in just ten minutes of prep, which makes it perfect for weeknight dinners or last minute entertaining. The shallots and chives give it a lovely gentle onion flavor that's way more refined than anything from a jar, and the fresh tarragon adds this subtle aniseed note that feels a bit fancy. What I love most is that shallots are packed with antioxidants and prebiotic fiber, so you're getting something genuinely good for you alongside pure deliciousness. Jersey Royals add a wonderful earthy sweetness that balances the acidity of the lemon beautifully.
