Salsa Fresca Verde - On the Vine

The key to the best Salsa.

Grow your own.

Trout Tacos

Make Melissa's competition winning Salsa Fresca Verde.

Stuff your fresh Trout with Cilantro and sliced lemons.
Salt and Pepper to taste.

Grill these bad boys.

Flake the meat from the bones. Served with some Spanish Rice and the Salsa Fresca Verde on some warm tortillas is heaven.

Melissa's Salsa Fresca Verde

Even though I lost the salsa competition, I'll willingly accept defeat for this recipe.
(It was the fudge contest I was screwed on!)

Anyway, this salsa has become a staple with fish tacos...

3 c. tomatillo, chopped
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
3 green onions, chopped
1 c. chopped onion
1-1 ½ c. cucumber, chopped (about ½ English)
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. oregano
2 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 chopped jalapeno, seeded & veined (about 2 Tbsp.)
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
¼ c. chopped cilantro
