- Fresh basil adds a fragrant herbal note, but can be substituted with dried basil if necessary, adjusting quantity accordingly.
- Drain artichokes thoroughly to prevent the salsa from becoming watery.
- Adjust salt and pepper based on your seasoning preference and the saltiness of capers.
- This salsa pairs well with grilled meats, fish, or as a topping for bruschetta.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
