Salsa Verde

Jump to Recipe
salsa verde with cilantro and lime

I have a confession to make, until recently I always purchased store bought salsa verde from my local market. To be fair, there are some really great options out there so I’m not knockin it, but once I realized how cheap and easy this stuff was to make I started making it just about every week. It’s one of those sauces that when you make it you’ll start finding any excuse to add it to a dish.

This salsa verde is inexpensive, fast, and easy. The perfect complement to white bean chicken chili, festive party nachos, or even as a flavor boost in your favorite guacamole! I hope you unlock the same love for this recipe as my friends and I have – the possibilities truly are endless. Enjoy!
