While flipping through one of my food magazines I came upon a Ball Canning Recipe pull-out.  In it I discovered a new version of Salsa Verde, this one made with green tomatoes.  I’ve always made My Verde Sauce with tomatillos so I was curious to see how a green tomato salsa would taste.

Luckily friends have been giving me tons of green tomatoes this year to play around with.  I was surprised at how similar the flavor of green tomato salsa is compared to regular tomatillo salsa verde.  They are both delicious so I guess it just comes down to personal preference.

The tomatillo salsa usually requires cooking while my version of the green tomato salsa verde is not cooked.  The green tomato salsa verde can easily be made chunky or more restaurant style.

Green Tomato Salsa Verde is also very healthy.  It is made simply with fresh ingredients and a few dried spices.  Which is perfect for my attempt to eat healthier . . . of course the tortilla chips certainly cannot be categorized as healthy.

But, I did come up with a way to enjoy this delicious salsa verde without tortilla chips.  I will be sharing that recipe on this week’s Healthy Happy Wednesday post.  Check out last week’s Healthy Happy Wednesday!
