Green Salsa Verde
Green Salsa Verde is ready in 15 minutes and is loaded with flavor. Filled with fresh tomatillos, garlic, onions, cilantro and lime juice, it is sure to be a favorite sauce!
Each summer, we plan at least one big bonfire appetizer party at our house. I love entertaining but like to do it simply, otherwise I get very overwhelmed. My husband has a big family and they have always had parties potluck style. This is such a simpler way of entertaining because you do not have to do everything yourself. Then, when I go to their parties, I bring a dish to pass too. It works out so well!
Tomorrow is our annual party and I cannot wait. I am making three appetizers myself: pizza dip with homemade breadsticks, veggie cream cheese pizza and this amazing salsa verde with tortilla chips.
To make it easier, I stocked up on most of the ingredients earlier in the week. I also made this salsa verde the day before to make less work the day of the party.
Until about a year ago, I was not a fan of salsa verde- I know, I was crazy! Luckily, a switch flipped and I am obsessed with it! I make my own red salsa all the time and when I saw fresh tomatillos at the grocery store, I knew it was time to try my own homemade green salsa.
It was super easy to make and turned out so good. I am using this green salsa verde on everything! Tacos, eggs, with chips, etc. So, so good!
