While flipping through one of my food magazines I came upon a Ball Canning

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

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?

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

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 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.
