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!
