Salsa Verde or "green sauce" is similar to the red salsa we all know and love. It can be served with crackers and chips, but it also makes a great topping for fish and chicken. I'm making a medium spicy version, but that can be changed by either eliminating the jalapeno or leaving the seeds in the recipe. Make it to your taste!
