I list some of my culinary obsessions on the side —–> as a way of letting other cooks and bakers know what I strongly recommend. You’ll notice that Herdez Salsa Verde is there which, if we’re being honest, may seem like a strange bird among the other “ingredients.” After all, salsa verde isn’t considered an ingredient in the sense that vanilla extract, herbs, and white vinegar are. It does, however, make your entire life more delicious – so, there’s that.
Why am I Obsessed with Herdez Salsa Verde
For one thing, this is the best salsa verde I’ve ever tasted. If there’s one on the market that tastes even half as good, I haven’t found it yet. Well, in full disclosure, I’m not even looking…
It’s a quick and easy way to give just about anything an extra little kick. The taste is fresh and ridiculously flavorful.
We always (as in always, always, always) have multiple jars on hand – it’s as though we’re afraid the apocalypse will happen and we won’t have enough. At this very moment, we actually have three in the refrigerator and two in the pantry.
We might have a wee problem here.
{Continued Below the Bowl of Chili…}

- A little or a lotta on chili is fantastic.
- On chili dogs
- On top of migas (or omelets, scrambled eggs…)
- Poured over loaded nachos
- One of my favorite ways to use salsa verde is on frozen gluten free burritos (Amy’s, Red’s..) and CedarLane’s Sweet Corn tamales. One of my favorite lunches is actually salsa verde poured over a CedarLane Sweet Corn Tamale. Insanely delicious.
- Herdez Salsa Verde is actually wonderful on top of any “Southwestern Style” frozen meal. Sometimes frozen/microwavable meals can be a little dry, the salsa verde adds flavor and counters any dryness that may be going on.
- Poured over softened cream cheese and eaten with thick tortilla chips or thick Kettle Style potato chips
- On tacos
- On taco salad
- On taco pizza
- On cheese pizza
- With Chicken Tortilla Soup
- On black bean burgers
- With Rice, Beans, and Roasted Veggies in a bowl
Basically, once you fall in love with the flavor, you’ll knock your own socks off with the number of ways you can find to enjoy it.
Herdez Salsa Verde is usually found in the Mexican Food’s section in grocery stores and is, of course, also available on Amazon (Amazon link).
