Recipes: Salsa Verde

Salsa Verde
  • Prep Time:15 minutes
  • Serves:12
 

This “green salsa” packs a fresh and spicy flavor. Ideal for chip dipping or for adding extra zest to many Mexican entrees.

See this spicy and fresh salsa in action in The Food Channel's 90 Seconds in the Kitchen series, here.

Why Try? The green color adds interest and eye appeal, and pays it off with fiery Mexican flavor.
