Herdez Salsa Verde is the green chile salsa I’ve been buying and loving for so long that I don’t even remember when or how I first discovered it! But I do know that for a very long time now when I want spicy green chile flavor in a recipe, this is the brand I choose. And this favorite product that you’ll always find in my fridge is definitely one of my Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks!
What is Salsa Verde?
Salsa Verde is a Spanish name that literally means “green sauce” in English. This spicy green salsa usually includes both tomatillos and green chiles, and it’s definitely a staple in Mexican cooking. And if whenever you see a recipe or a restaurant menu item that mentions green chile sauce, it is probably some variation of this classic sauce. The salsa can be mild to very spicy, and as you can see these photos, I buy the mild variety most often.
Is Herdez Salsa Verde low in carbs?
One reason I’ve used this flavorful green chile salsa so much is that it’s quite low in carbs, with only 30 carbs in the entire 16 oz. jar. And in most recipes this isn’t something you use in huge amounts.
Where can you get Herdez Salsa Verde?
If you live in the U.S. many grocery stores will carry this product, but if you don’t find it you can buy Herdez Salsa Verde (affiliate link) at Amazon.

I love it too!! Been using it to make black bean and spinach enchiladas for years.
That sounds delicious to me!
I am a die hard fan of Herdez® Salsa Verde. Their medium roasted salsa verde is amazing ♥ Other brands are thin and watery or have a bitter aftertaste. I live a ketogenic lifestyle and this is just one of those grocery items I know to pick up regularly and stock up when on sale. I’m excited to try some of these recipes you’ve posted Ü Thanks for sharing!
I agree with you completely that this is an amazing product! I hope you enjoy the recipes!
Thank you for posting these recipes with Herdez Salsa Verde! I first used salsa verde while staying in Playa del Carmen, MX in the Salsa Verde Chicken Bake. I was looking for recipes with few ingredients as the place we rented had very limited spices. Of course Herdez Salsa Verde is readily available in the grocery stores in Mexico. The recipe was excellent, and I make it at home in Canada.
I’ve been to Playa del Carmen too, although I’ve never cooked when I was staying in Mexico. Exploring their grocery stores sounds like fun. So glad you are enjoying the recipes; thanks for taking time to let me know!
