Salsa Verde is one of those things that’s usually either really good, or very mediocre. As far as using this as a dip, this falls into the latter category. It doesn’t have nearly enough flavor for me to prefer it over other salsas when used as a tortilla chip dip (including other brands/versions of salsa verde). However, when used in cooking, it’s great! This + chicken over rice = delicious.

I don’t eat the salsa verde as a dip, I actually put chicken, onion, chicken broth and a jar of salsa verde in the crock pot. It makes delicious shredded chicken you can add rice and beans to, for a flavorful and easy dinner. I always try to keep two jars in my cabinet. Its also great because it does not have any added preservatives or sugar!

I keep this in the pantry for when I want a quick, lightly sauced chicken enchilada dinner… Works well in that application…

Agree with above–this works great in my chicken chili recipe and to throw into dishes that need a lift. One of my staples.

Oversalted, vinegary, slimy texture, feels more “canned” than seems possible. I can doctor almost any food by mixing it with contrasting or complementary flavor but this one could not be disguised. I generally like Trader Joe’s salsas and spreads, and in general seek out green salsas everywhere. This one has won a spot at the bottom of my list.The best thing about it was that the jar was easy to open.

More like 3.5. Not too spicy. Not as good as the fresh ones. I like it better than red salsa.
