Fresh Salsa Verde

Salsa verde is a bright, fresh and tasty addition to many of our favorite meals and snacks. It goes nicely, wherever you would think to use regular red salsa but also makes a great topper to grilled pork, huevos ranchos, or alongside your guacamole and nachos. It’s full of fresh herbs and gives a nice little kick to any dish that calls for it.

Traditionally it’s made with tomatillos but this herb only version is lovely as well. You could also throw in some avocado for a creamier version.
