Fresh Green Tomatillo Salsa Frequently Asked Questions


What is green salsa made of?

Green salsa is a type of salsa typically made from tomatillos or sometimes avocados (we have a delicious recipe for avocado salsa.) It can also contain other green ingredients like cilantro and chili peppers. 


Is green salsa hotter than red?

All salsas are made differently, and not one color salsa is hotter than the other. Factors like how many chiles are added or if the seeds are removed from the chiles will play into the spiciness of a salsa. 


How do you use green salsa?

Like any other salsa, green salsa can be used as a dip for chips, a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos, or even as a simmer sauce for chile verde, a popular stewed pork dish.


How long will salsa keep in the refrigerator?

If you have left over salsa, store it in an air tight container or a jar. Salsa will stay fresh for about a week.
