Salsa Verde

Salsa Verde

EverydayCooked

Salsa verde is a cooked Mexican green sauce made primarily from tomatillos, green chilies, cilantro, onions, and lime juice. Unlike tomato-based red salsas, it features a bright, tangy flavor with herbaceous notes and varying heat levels depending on chili selection. This versatile condiment is naturally low in calories and fat, though sodium content can rise significantly in commercial preparations. It serves as a staple topping for tacos and enchiladas while offering a vegan, gluten-free flavor enhancer for grilled meats and vegetable dishes.
