February 28, 2021 By Bernie Leave a Comment

Vegan Creamy Salsa Verde Recipe

What’s up, everyone? Bernie Molina here, author of Herencia Cookbook, full of authentic SalviMex recipes with a modern twist. Today, I will share how to make a delicious vegan creamy salsa verde! This salsa tastes amazing with chips, carne asada, or chilaquiles.  As a result, I simply had to share it with you all here on the blog.  So, let’s get to it!

Vegan Creamy Salsa Verde Recipe

A TikTok video actually inspired this recipe. I was so shocked when I saw the texture of the salsa was creamy. Yet, it had no cream! Or even avocado. absolutely love it. Believe it or not, squash is the secret ingredient that gives this salsa its amazing creamy texture. Additionally, since this recipe contains squash, it’s a great way to sneak in extra veggies.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 1 squash or zucchini
  • 4 tomatillos
  • Onion, one half
  • 2-3 chiles serranos
  • Cilantro, one handful
  • Salt, to taste
  • Olive oil, 1 tbsp

 

Directions

  • Firstly, rinse and peel the tomatillos.  Wash all the produce.
  • Secondly, place the squash and tomatillos into boiling water. Cook until the tomatillos change color. Make sure they do not burst as this can cause a bitter taste.
  • While that boils, cut the stem off the serrano peppers. Peel the garlic.
  • Lightly fry the serrano, garlic, and onion until they are a beautiful golden color.
  • In a blender, add the boiled ingredients, the toasted ingredients
  • , cilantro, and salt to taste.
  • Be careful if the ingredients are still hot. Allow them to cool before blending for safety.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Enjoy this creamy salsa however you would like!

When I was pregnant 🤰🏻, I took a nutrition c When I was pregnant 🤰🏻, I took a nutrition class 👩🏻‍💻so I could learn how to properly nourish myself and my growing 👶🏻 bebecito. My instructor and I discussed curtido, because it was one of my (many) cravings. 🤤 Seriously. I could not get enough of it! Besides enjoying it the traditional way with 🫓pupusas, I put it on 🌭hotdogs, 🥗salads and even in 🌮tacos dorados! I know. I know. That last one is so SalviMex of me. 😆

Yes, curtido is delicious. 😋But, did you know that curtido is also really good for you? 🤔 It has probiotics which are great for gut health. 😯Additionally, a cup of curtido has about 4 grams of fiber. Finally, since the main ingredient is cabbage, curtido is a great source of vitamin K and vitamin C!

Do you like curtido? Want to learn how to make it? I’ll be demonstrating a recipe right out of my cookbook in my next free virtual cooking class, with @northgatemarket
