    Recipe: Salsa Verde Trio with Salsa Guac!

    salsa verde guacamolesalsa verde“You eat a good salsa verde with a chip.
    You eat a great salsa verde with a spoon.”
    -Kathy

    This trio of salsa verde recipes will leave your guests reaching for a spoon.

    Salsa verde, three ways: Classic Salsa Verde, Salsa Verde-Rojo and my favorite, Salsa Verde-Guac.

    Each recipe calls for roasted tomatillos. A zesty tart ingredient that has the texture and taste similar to a green tomato, but with a hint of heat and tart sweetness. Don’t know how to roast a pepper? Click here.

    Classic Salsa Verde
    3 roasted tomatillos, chopped
    ½ white onion, diced
    ⅓ cup cilantro, chopped
    2 Serrano pepper, roasted, chopped
    1 lime, juiced
    2 cloves of garlic
    3 tablespoon orange juice
    1 teaspoon agave
    1 sprinkle cayenne
    1 teaspoon garlic salt
    1 teaspoon black pepper

    Roast peppers and tomatillos over gas stove or in broiler oven.
    Peel of any excess black marks. Leave a few.

    Chop ingredients.

    Add all ingredients to blender. LEAVE OUT a tablespoon of chopped onion and a pinch of cilantro.

    Blend well until salsa becomes smooth. Do not over blend. If the salsa is too thick, add more orange juice.

    Pour salsa into a serving bowl. Stir in excess onions and top with cilantro garnish.

    Salt and pepper to taste. Add additional Serrano, jalapeno or habernero peppers for more heat. Habernero peppers are very hot.
