Cilantro Artisan Foods Salsa Verde

Salsa verde is a staple in every Mexican kitchen. In Spanish salsa verde simply means "green sauce" and is primarily made with a distant relative of the tomato from Mexico, the naturally tart "tomatillo" (pronounced "toe-mah-TEE-yo"). A tomatillo looks like green tomato covered with a husk and they have a slightly more acidic, slightly less sweet flavor than ripe and unripe tomatoes.

Blended with only a few fresh ingredients as serrano peppers, cilantro, onion and garlic; our version of this salsa is zesty, tangy, and with a spicy flavor that can range from mild to medium tasting, depending on the spicy of the peppers.

In the cuisines of Mexico, it is often served with Mexican style dishes like enchiladas and quesadillas or as topping. Anything savory, salty, meaty is even better with salsa on top such as chicken, pork, grilled seafood, grilled or cooked veggies. You can even put salsa on a salad an calling a winning meal, and of course, any and all tortilla-based meals.
