This Fresh Salsa Verde Recipe is loaded with so much flavor and is so incredibly easy to make. You will never go back to store bought brands once you savor this taste explosion. Serve it on burritos, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, grilled fish or chicken, and even poached eggs. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. I love to serve this at my fiestas with Mexican Pizzas, Beef Enchilada Casserole, and Chicken Tacos. My husband just loves it on my Chile Relleno Casserole for an over the top Sunday brunch.
