I thought I knew salsa verde. We were always buds, but now, we may be lovers! Hahahaha! No seriously though, making your own salsa verde is so gratifying and flavorful. Fire roasting the ingredients is an absolute game changer!
The Food Artist and I put fresh tomatillos to work in this delicious salsa verde. When you make it yourself, you can dial in the spice factor to suit your tastes without sacrificing flavor. Our version is on the mild side, a perfect crowd pleaser, but the flavors sing!
Try this salsa verde and let us know what you think. It’s great with everything from the classic Mexican fare of tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas to your morning eggs and quick weeknight chicken dinners. So good!
