How to Use Salsa Verde
Salsa verde is a condiment with roots in Central American cuisine. Consisting of chopped tomatillo, jalapeños, onions and cilantro, it is commonly added as a topping for tacos, burritos or quesadillas. However, this green sauce is far more versatile, and can be used in more interesting ways than as a simple dash of added flavor to Tex-Mex staples. From breakfast to BBQ to sandwiches, salsa verde is a condiment that can add spice to any dish. It can be found in jars in the Latin food section of any supermarket. Does this Spark an idea?
