    Salsa Verde

    The Best Salsa Verde Recipe in the World!

    Do you know tomatillos? They greatly differ from green tomatoes, which are simply not ripe. However, both types can be used in this delicious and authentic salsa verde recipe!

    Indeed, tomatillos and green tomatoes are interchangeable in this Mexican recipe. Just make sure to use about 1 lb (454 g) of the one you choose. This salsa is super simple to make and easily replaces shop-bought alternatives, which often contain too much sodium. 

    What to eat with salsa verde?

    Salsa verde goes marvellously well with nachos, fajitas, and tacos. It could also make a great sauce base for a Mexican-style pizza! Try it with a salmon fillet as well. 

    Do not hesitate to enhance the flavours by adding some lemon or lime juice, to taste.

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS: Do you love Mexican cuisine? Try this quick vegetarian chili, this mason jar taco salad, these chilaquiles, this cripsy corn guacamole, or these huevos rancheros on cauliflower tortillas!

  • Calories

    -
    Calories are units of energy. They represent a measurable quantity of energy brought by a food. Your energetic needs depend on your age, height, weight, gender and how active you are. The average need ranges around 2000 calories/day. A higher or inferior intake might affect your weight.
  • Lipids
    0.8 g
    1 % DV
    Lipids (fats) are essential to your body. They are an important source of energy. However, an excessive consumption is associated with weight gain and higher risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Unsaturated fats are preferable to saturated or trans fats.
  • Saturated fats
    0 g
    -
    Saturated fats, commonly known as “bad fats”, are mostly found in processed foods and in some products of animal origin. If consumed in excess, they can have adverse effects on cardiovascular health, including increases in LDL-cholesterol levels. Try to eat better lipids such as those found in fish, nuts, oilseeds, and oils!
  • Cholesterol
    0 mg
    -
    Your body mainly uses cholesterol to produce hormones. It is only found in foods of animal origin such as meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. However, dietary cholesterol has little to no influence on your cholesterol level compared to saturated and trans fats.
  • Sodium
    49 mg
    2 % DV
    In small quantities, sodium is an essential nutrient for your body. However, you probably eat too much of it without even being aware, and this overconsumption can have adverse effects on your health. Indeed, excess sodium targets organs and can lead to hypertension.
  • Carbohydrates
    2 g
    1 % DV
    Carbohydrates are a good source of energy. They are your brain’s main source of fuel for all functions. The carbohydrate group is divided into simple and complex sugars, fibers, and starches. Carbohydrates are mostly found in fruits, dairy products, baked goods, pastries, sweets, cereals, and legumes. It is recommended to not eat high quantities of added sugars. Limit your intake to 50 g/day.
  • Fibers
    0.5 g
    2 % DV
    Fibers have many health benefits. They are divided into two types: soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers can reduce your cholesterol level and help regulate glycemia (blood sugar levels). As for insoluble fibers, they increase stool bulk and regulate bowel function. Since they slow down the digestion process, they promote satiety, which contributes to appetite and weight control. You should consume at least 30 g everyday.
  • Proteins
    0.3 g
    -
    Protein has different roles in your body. They are essential to muscle, blood, and even skin development! In fact, protein build most of your bodily structures. They also provide all the amino acids your body needs to make neurotransmitters, new molecules, enzymes, and even certain hormones!
