Purchased Salsa Verde (2024)

FAQs

How do you make store-bought salsa verde better? ›

Usually most factory-made salsas have too much salt, but if your salsa is bland, adding some good-quality sea salt and some lime juice can give it a lot more flavor (lemon works, too, but lime juice works better in salsa). And don't forget lemon and lime zest: citrus zest elevates almost every dish it's added to.

The Short and Spicy Answer

Taco Bell decided to discontinue the green sauce due to changes in their menu and customer preferences. They often update their menu, adding new flavors and removing less popular items to keep things exciting. But don't worry, green sauce lovers!

Salsa verde in Mexico is a green salsa, which could be tomatillo or avocado based. However, salsas are typically referred to by ingredient, not color.

Delicious! I'm so glad I found this brand of Salsa Verde; it's probably the best grocery store brand I've had. Highly recommend.

At the very least, a little fresh lime juice and some minced cilantro can wake up even the sleepiest of salsas, ushering back in the flavor of just-squeezed citrus and herbs that taste like they came from a living plant. Beyond that, a crunchy raw vegetable or two never hurts.

We use that term to refer to a whole category of green sauces that are usually raw and cold (or room temperature)—think tomatillo salsas, sauce verte, chimichurri, avocado salsa, and even pesto.

Canned tomatillos are fine to use, but your salsa won't have the same firm texture it will if you use fresh. Since fresh tomatillos are impossible for me to find, I grow my own in my vegetable garden. They're easy to grow and preserve so, if you're a gardener and enjoy Mexican food, they're worth adding to your garden.

They're rich in fiber, help lower serum cholesterol, are low in calories, and contain protein, vitamins A, B6, and C!

Cilantro often makes an appearance in both, but more so in green salsas, which feature an overall herbal flavor. Typically red salsas are served slightly chilled, while green salsas can be served chilled or as a warm sauce. Another general rule? Red salsa is hotter than green.

Once you open a container of a store-bought salsa, it must be refrigerated in an airtight glass jar or plastic container. An open jar of store-bought salsa will last about 2–4 weeks in the fridge but you should always check for signs of spoilage before serving.

Experiment with sugar, honey or applesauce. My guess would probably be the garlic, if it's a fresh salsa.

An open jar of store-bought salsa lasts about 2–4 weeks in the fridge, but you should always check for signs of mold, fuzz, funky smells, and any other signs that something is awry before diving in. If you make your own salsa, it'll stay good for just five to seven days in the fridge.
