About Verbena con queso

Verbena Con Queso is a flavorful dish that combines tender verbena leaves with rich, melted cheese, offering a delightful blend of earthy and creamy flavors. Originating from Latin American cuisine, it highlights the use of fresh, aromatic herbs like lemon verbena, which is known for its subtle citrusy notes. The dish typically features high-quality cheeses such as queso fresco or mozzarella, and can be served as a dip, filling, or topping. Verbena leaves are a good source of antioxidants and vitamins, contributing to its health benefits, while the cheese provides calcium and protein. However, this dish can be high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on the cheese variety used. Enjoy Verbena Con Queso as an indulgent treat or pair it with whole-grain crackers or fresh vegetables for a more balanced approach.
