Salsa Verde
we’re big fans of salsa verde. From snacking on all on its own with plenty of chips to incorporating into our staple weeknight and Mexican dinners to amp up the flavor, salsa verde can truly do it all. While we’re surely not entirely opposed to the canned stuff in a pinch, there’s no denying that homemade salsa verde is far superior. Ready after a few simple steps, it’s worth every second to make this flavor-packed, creamy dip fresh. Trust us—once you've had it fresh, you may never go back. 😎 How to make salsa verde: Before we blend up all our ingredients, we need to roast our vegetables. Our tomatillos, white onion, and jalapeños are roasted until softened and charred, giving them that delicious smoky flavor that’s essential to this salsa. Once done, our veggies are blended with cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil until mostly smooth. You don’t want to overly blend your veggies—a little bit of chunks definitely won’t hurt in this salsa, but if you prefer a smoother texture, you can do that! How to use salsa verde: Salsa verde is completely delicious all on its own, served as a satisfying party dip with homemade tortilla chips, salsa, and guac. But, there’s plenty of ways you can incorporate salsa verde into your weeknight dinners or party mains! Take inspo from us—from our salsa verde chicken, one-pan salsa verde & shrimp to our, salsa verde taquitos, there’s no shortage of ways you can use this fresh and flavorful salsa. Made this?
