About Green salsa

Green salsa, or salsa verde, is a tangy, flavorful condiment rooted in Mexican cuisine. Typically made with tomatillos, jalapeños or serrano peppers, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and onions, this vibrant sauce offers a delicious blend of zesty and mildly spicy notes. Tomatillos, the key ingredient, are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and dietary fiber, making the salsa a nutrient-packed option. The addition of fresh herbs like cilantro introduces phytonutrients that support overall health. Green salsa is naturally low in calories and fat, making it a guilt-free way to add flavor to dishes like tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip for vegetables. However, portion control is important, as excess sodium might be present if store-bought varieties include added salt. Versatile and nutritious, green salsa is an excellent choice for balancing bold taste with beneficial nutrients in your meals.
