Salsa Verde Rice is a flavorful dish inspired by Mexican cuisine, combining the zesty tang of tomatillos with fragrant spices and fresh herbs. Its vibrant green hue comes from a blend of salsa verde made with tomatillos, cilantro, garlic, onions, and jalapeños, which is simmered with white or brown rice for a savory, citrusy kick. A versatile side dish, it pairs well with grilled meats, beans, or roasted vegetables. Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants from the tomatillos and fresh herbs, it offers a nutritious boost. Opting for brown rice increases fiber content and adds whole-grain benefits, supporting digestion and sustained energy. However, sodium levels can rise from store-bought salsa verde, so choosing low-sodium options or making homemade salsa can make this dish healthier. Delicious and nutrient-rich, Salsa Verde Rice is a wholesome addition to any meal.
