This easy raw green salsa came together in no time thanks to my blender. I buy salsa all the time, but I never realized how easily it could be made. When you make it fresh it tastes way better and it’s simple to make a huge portion for a large group of people if you are entertaining.
This green salsa is mild and subtle enough to be served with shrimp or fish. Feel free to play around with the ingredients, if you prefer more garlic or heat. I actually think this tastes better the next day, once the flavors have had a chance to really marinate together.
Here are a couple ways I love using salsa:
1) I regularly use salsa as a chili base. For ground beef I prefer to use red salsas, but for chicken or turkey, a green salsa would be delicious.
2) My husband and I love breakfast food, especially eggs. Salsa makes a perfect topping to a Mexican breakfast and is a great addition to brunch.
3) Taco salad is a regular weeknight meal at our house and we always use salsa instead of salad dressing.
4) I’ve pressure cooked chicken with salsa in my instant pot, and been very happy with the results.
5) Whole foods has some grain free chip options. So if you have a craving for chips and salsa, feel free to indulge a little.
Really the possibilities are endless. What is your favorite way to use salsa?
