    Salsa Verde

    Make a batch of keto salsa verde to use as dip, salad dressing or drizzle over roasted vegetables. A delicious flavour combination of tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeno and garlic give an added extra something to any dish!

    Homemade salsa verde is always better than anything you can buy in a jar! It's fresher and packed full of flavour.

    What is salsa verde?

    This is a green tomato salsa that traditionally uses tomatillos. It's easy to make and is used with chips or on tacos. Serve this with our low carb nacho recipe.

    If you can’t find fresh tomatillos, you could substitute them with green tomatoes.  I found a can of ready roasted tomatillos in a local store but haven’t seen them since.  Next time, I will purchase the whole shelf!

    How to make keto salsa verde

    The tomatillos are best cooked first. You can either broil or roast them until brown. There are recipes with them raw or boiled but I find that roasting them adds to the flavour.

    Once your tomatillos are cooked, it's as simple as blending everything in a food processor or blender to the consistency that you prefer. Enjoy it slightly chunky or smooth.
