A blend of lime, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, spices and tangy green
tomatoes . . . the perfect end of summer snack!

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. Ive 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 weeks Healthy Happy Wednesday
post. Check out last weeks Healthy Happy Wednesday!

I love the idea of substituting green tomatoes for tomatillos! Very clever. Also love the
more chunky version as compared to the blended one. Cool stuff!

Looks good. How well does this freeze? I like to make salsa in bulk & freeze the
majority of it so we can have homemade salsa through the winter months.

Thanks Charise! I have never frozen this salsa verde, so I cant say for sure how well it
will freeze. I would think that the pureed restaurant version will freeze better than the chunky
version. I hope it works for ya

This is a stupid question but are green tomatoes just unripened red tomatoes or
are they a different variety?
Reply
Nicole Harris says:

Not a stupid question at all. There are so many varieties of tomatoes. Green
Tomatoes are large red tomatoes that have not ripened. They have a tart/tangy flavor.
You could also use tomatillos, which is what salsa verde is usually made with.

Just used our left over green cherry tomatoes with a few red cherry tomatoes and it was
awesome. Im a big middle Eastern flavour food fan so the cumin and coriander was amazing
combined with the heat . I served it with Chicken Chimmichanga a Mexican dish using chipotle
chillis in adobo sauce, reduced down then sandwich pressed rather than deep fried in burritos , a
homemade yoghurt, coriander , chive dip for a bit of cooling, the chicken was amazing in the sauce
it had reduced down to a decadent spicy heaven of a sauce but the green salsa made it too , on the
plate , the spice kick, the colours and then the flavour a true wow factor , look forward to reading
more of you recipes and ideas

Salsa Verde is made with Tomatillos not green tomatoes.

Hi Sharon! As I mentioned in my post, I too have always made salsa verde
with tomatillos. I was intrigued when I first heard of using green tomatoes. And I was
not disappointed by the flavor! But, feel free to use tomatillos instead of green
tomatoes. I guess its not for everyone

Nicole, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing this recipe. There is going to
be a freeze here in Utah soon and I was so sad looking at all my green tomatoes. Although I could
wait for them to ripen, I am so very excited to make this recipe and have something different.
Thank you for sharing your talent in making or revamping recipes with me. Ange

I just wanted to let you know that I made this tonight we were dubious at first
that green tomato salsa would be very good, but it was absolutely delicious! I just wish I
had more green tomatoes to make more salsa with. Thanks for the recipe!

How would frozen green cherry tomatoes work and how? I froze them as is. . . I did not
blanche them first. Ideas??

I have never tried it with frozen green tomatoes. I imagine it would work. The
consistency would probably be different. Instead of a chunky salsa you will have more of a
restaurant style.

Oh, how I wish my sweetheart loved cilantro. No mind. I get to eat the entire batch
myself! This looks like a wonderful salsa, so much so that I featured it as the Recipe of the Day
today on a Facebook page I curate called Cooking with Whole Grains & Real, Whole Foods.
Thank you for a lovely post and a delightful recipe.
