Salsa Verde

Salsa Verde is a bright green, tangy sauce common in Mexican and Southwestern cuisines, traditionally made from tomatillos, chili, onion and cilantro. It’s used as a condiment for tacos, grilled meats, eggs and as a dipping sauce, and is known for its fresh, herbaceous flavor and acidic tang. Nutritionally Salsa Verde is light and vegetable-forward: it supplies modest fiber at 1.6g per 100g and contributes vitamin C and vitamin K from the tomatillos and herbs, making it a low-calorie way to add flavor and micronutrients to dishes. From a health perspective it’s generally a wholesome condiment choice — vegetable-based with beneficial phytonutrients — though commercially prepared versions can be higher in salt, so homemade or low-sodium options are a simple way to keep it healthier.
